[Pak Daily Times] The rebels were identified on Thursday in the village of Keller, 50 kilometres south of Srinagar, police superintendent Mumtaz Ahmad told AFP. A top local commander of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JEM) krazed killer outfit named as Qari Zubair was killed in the ensuing firefight along with his bodyguard. "Qari Zubair was active in south Kashmire for the last five years and was one of the most wanted foreign krazed killers," the police officer told AFP late Thursday, adding that Zubair was a Pak. In April this year, local chief of JEM Sajjad Afghani and his bodyguard were rubbed out by police in a shootout along the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar. Thursday's killings took to six the number of suspected rebels rubbed out by Indian troops in the Himalayan region since Monday. India blames Pakistain for backing snuffies in its zone of divided Kashmire, a charge Islamabad denies. |
