Six Killed in Resistance and Counter Resistance Attacks in Kashmir

Six Killed in Resistance and Counter Resistance Attacks in Kashmir
JAMMU, Indian-ruled Kashmir (Islamweb & News Agencies) - Six people have been killed in two separate incidents in Indian-ruled Kashmir where the war for self-determination has soared since last month's fruitless talks between India and Pakistan.(Read photo caption below).

An Indian police spokesman said border guards early on Friday killed three Resistance claiming that they had sneaked into the territory from Pakistan.
The Resistance men, according to the source, were killed near the international border in Jammu district's Sudhwaan area, 25 miles southwest of Jammu, the winter capital of the disputed Himalayan state.
In another incident, three people including two soldiers were killed on Thursday evening in a clash between Indian forces and Muslim Resistance groups in Udhampur district, about 40 miles east of Jammu.
Police claimed that a commander of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba group, Abu Saifulla, was killed in the incident.
The war for self-determination has surged in Kashmir since the summit between the leaders of India and Pakistan ended in deadlock over the Kashmir dispute.
India blames Pakistan for backing the Resistance in the Himalayan region. Pakistan denies the accusation and says it only provides moral and diplomatic support to the fighters.
The two nuclear-capable neighbors have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir since they won independence from Britain in 1947.
Authorities say more than 30,000 people have been killed in the region since the rebellion broke out in late 1989. Separatists put the toll closer to 80,000.
