Six more die in Kashmir as fragile truce holds SRINAGAR, India, Monday (AFP) Six people died in separatist violence in Kashmir, where a truce on the de facto border between India and Pakistan held for a fifth day police said. Suspected rebels stopped a passenger bus in the village of Palriya Palmar in Indian Kashmir's southern Doda district Saturday evening, dragging out a Muslim policeman and shooting him dead, police said. A girl sustained injuries in the shooting. In the same district suspected rebels shot dead a Muslim civilian, a police spokesman said, adding that the motive behind the killing was not known. In downtown Srinagar, the summer capital, suspected militants raided a roadside tea stall and shot dead a Muslim youth. "The deceased was a driver by profession. Police are investigating why he was killed by militants," the spokesman said. In Kangan, 40 kilometers (25 miles) northeast of Srinagar, security forces shot dead a militant, while one of the two policemen injured in an attack Friday in Pampore on Srinagar's outskirts died in hospital. In the southern Sidhra forests on the outskirts of Jammu, Kashmir's winter capital, a militant and a policeman were killed and five, including a policeman, were injured in a gunfight Sunday. The clash came after two militants fired on a government car, injuring a local official, his bodyguard and his driver. |
