 SRINAGAR, India - Indian troops in Kashmir have shot dead three Islamic terrorists militants along the de facto border with Pakistan and a further three people have been killed by rebels, officials said Monday. The clash along the heavily-militarised and mountainous Line of Control, which occurred on Sunday, came after Indian authorities said they had registered an increase in terrorist militant infiltration attempts as the weather improves and the snows melt.
‘Other terrorists militants fled back,’ army spokesman Anil Kumar Mathur told AFP.
Police meanwhile said terrorists militants killed three Muslim men, including a policeman and an employee of the Indian armyÂ’s engineering division, in the south of the divided state. |
