SRINAGAR
(Indian Held Kashmir): Eight Muslim freedom-fighters and two
Indian soldiers were killed in clashes over the past 24 hours
in India held-Kashmir.
Struggle for freedom from the Indian yoke has not abated in
the Himalayan region despite peace efforts by India and
Pakistan who have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir
since 1947.
A police spokesman said that army soldiers shot dead two
freedom fighters on Saturday in a fierce battle in Anantnag
district south of Srinagar, the summer capital of the Indian
occupied part of the Jammu and Kashmir State.
Elsewhere, six freedom fighters and two security force
personnel were killed in gunbattles across the region since
Friday evening, police said.
The army ceasefire on the frontline has held so far, but
fighting groups have said they will not go for the truce.
