| Indian soldiers shot dead a senior militant leader on Monday, dealing a fresh blow to the region’s main militant group which has lost nearly a dozen senior members in firefights with security forces this year. Police said Zahoor Ahmad Waza, ‘financial chief’ of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) militant group, was killed along with an associate near Palhalan area, north of Srinagar. The killings come weeks after police arrested chief spokesman of the HM in Kashmir. The militant group is fighting for the region’s merger with Pakistan. |
