Eight Indian cops, two militants killed in IHK gun battle
 

SRINAGAR: Indian security forces in the occupied Kashmir Valley shot dead two freedom-fighters after an hours-long gun battle for control of a government compound in which eight policemen were also killed, the state´s top police official said.
The shootout ensued after the militants stormed into the police camp in Pulwama, a town in southern Kashmir, early on Saturday, SP Vaid, the director general of Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) police, told reporters in Srinagar. A search of the camp was continuing, he said.
In a statement to local newspapers, a militant group claimed responsibility for the attack. It was the deadliest on a state security facility since September last year, when armed militants broke into an army camp in Uri near the Line of Control (LoC) killing 18 army personnel.
Indian troops have killed 134 freedom-fighters this year, mostly in the past two months, officials said. —Reuters
