Five suspected rebels killed in Kashmir
Indian forces in Kashmir killed five suspected rebels yesterday, during the disputed territory's third major gun battle in as many days. Hundreds of people thronged a site where security forces had besieged a group of militants, throwing rocks at soldiers in a bid to help the rebels escape, witnesses said. One protester was also killed in the resulting clashes with troops in Qazigund village, north of Kashmir's capital Srinagar.
