2 Gunmen Dead in New Fighting at India Air Force Base
2016-01-04
[AnNahar] Two suspected Islamic turbans were killed Sunday when fighting flared up again at an Indian air force base, a police brass hat said, a day after the initial bloody raid on the base close to Pakistain.

Early Sunday afternoon security forces came under heavy fire inside the base during a search for munitions and possible turbans.

The police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity the two snuffies were killed four hours after the first contact was made Sunday. But the search would continue before the base was declared safe.

"Both have been killed. We are yet to retrieve their bodies," the officer said.

The base commander, J S Dhamoon, told news hounds separately the operation was close to completion but gave no information on any fresh casualties.

Islamabad, meanwhile, moved quickly to condemn the attack which it described as a "terrorist incident."
