India claims killing four 'guerillas'

Published September 3, 2004

SRINAGAR, Sept 2: Indian troops on Thursday claimed to have gunned down four suspected Kashmiri guerillas along the Line of Control.

The militants died ahead of crucial weekend talks in New Delhi between foreign ministers of the two countries in a new push to end decades-old Kashmir dispute.

Police asserted three were shot in the Trikunda sector of southern Rajouri district after crossing into Indian Kashmir, and a fourth in northern Kupwara district.

"The militants were killed once they entered our side after crossing the Line of Control," a police spokesman said. -AFP
