4 killed, 1 injured in Kashmir

Three suspected terrorists were among four persons killed and one injured in the Kashmir valley since Wednesday evening, officials said on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the situation at Magam in central Kashmir continued to be tense following the alleged killing in custody of two former Hizbul Mujahideen extremists by the Special Operations Group of the Jammu & Kashmir police.

Local residents blocked the main road for the second day on Thursday, alleging that the former militants were picked up from their houses and killed at Mirgund on Wednesday.

Official sources said unidentified extremists kidnapped and later killed a civilian, Ghulam Mohammad Ganai, at Zadoora in Pulwama district of south Kashmir late on Wednesday night.

An official spokesman said the Kokernag police arrested two militants on Wednesday from a hideout. But when the militants were being taken to another hideout for recovering arms, they attacked the police with automatic weapons and grenades. The police retaliated, killing the militants. But villagers alleged that the youths were killed in a fake encounter.

The spokesman said that in Ganderbal the SOG killed a militant when he tried to flee when he was asked to stop on Wednesday evening.

Militants hurled a hand grenade at a security force picket at Karan Nagar on Wednesday evening. But the grenade missed its target and exploded on the roadside, wounding a civilian.
