In other incidents, suspected rebels shot dead four people while two civilians were beheaded by rebels across the region.  Troops have shot dead two senior commanders of a dominant rebel group, a police spokesman said Sunday. He said Ghulam Mohammed Malik and Mohammed Ashraf Padder were shot dead in separate clashes in northern Kupwara and southern Anantnag districts overnight Saturday. "Both were senior commanders of Hizbul Mujahedeen and were on the security force list of most wanted militants," the spokesman said. Hizbul Mujahedeen was one of the first rebel groups to launch an insurgency against Indian rule in Kashmir in 1989. |
