SRINAGAR: Indian soldiers killed four suspected militants and captured another during a day-long gunbattle in India-held Kashmir, a defence spokesman said on Thursday.
He said that soldiers detected the group of militants in Uri, 100km southwest of Srinagar, on Wednesday morning, triggering a gunfight that ended on Thursday afternoon.
“One terrorist was killed yesterday in Uri and three today in the contiguous forest area of Rafiabad,” Indian defence spokesman Colonel N.N. Joshi said.
“One (militant) was captured alive during the operation,” he said.

Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism and now it is testing the will of India and others. Don't be surprised if a joint operation of India and US takes out your famed nukes and destroy Pak military pride. Pakistan derives it value out of its ability to create nuisance. A rogue nation has no value still it does attracts attention....thats what you are.

One captured alive is good news as he will reveal where he comes from and who or which organisation is behind all this violence

Despite so many living proof, Pakistan will refuse to accept that LET is their brain child.
They will even refuse to accept the captured terrorist as their own citizen as usual. A country on eternal denial.
