2 soldiers, 1 rebel killed in ambush in Indian Kashmir

In the latest episode, suspected rebels killed two paramilitary soldiers and wounded another ten after attacking their convoy in the Indian-held Kashmir on Wednesday (today).

“Two militants attacked Border Security Force (BSF) convoy in Udhampur in Jammu on Wednesday”.

“India has always given evidence to Pakistan to take action against the perpetrators of terror but the Pakistan establishment doesn’t want the legal system to function to ensure that such people are brought to the book”, said BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli.

The Himalayan region of Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan, but claimed in full by both, since the two countries gained independence from Britain in 1947.

Muslim Pakistan says it only gives moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people in their struggle for self-determination.

Indian police said Naved told them he is from the Pakistani town of Faislabad and that he entered the Jammu region 12 days ago along with another militant he identified as Momin Khan.

The APHC in a statement issued after a meeting chaired by its Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, in Srinagar said that India and Pakistan needed to show political farsightedness to deal with the tense situation.

And in a familiar repeat of the arguments advanced after Pakistani terrorists caused mayhem in Mumbai in 2008, Islamabad sought proof from New Delhi for the captured terrorist’s Pakistani link.

India is set to strongly take up with Pakistan the Gurdaspur and Udhampur terror strikes at the National Security Advisor-level talks later this month even as Islamabad has yet to respond to the dates proposed by New Delhi, but looks likely to accept.

Attacks on the railway station, luxury hotels and a Jewish cultural centre claimed 166 lives. Meanwhile on another front, the Pakistan establishment is deeply involved with the Afghan Taliban, the Haqqani Network and anti-India jihadist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, leading to the rise of a powerful jihadist-military complex. The gunman was later executed.

In fact merely a couple of days after their last meeting in Ufa in Russian Federation, the two sides exchanged firing along the worldwide border and skirmishes were reported from several points along the Line of Control.
