National Conference leader,
6 militants killed in J&K

Militants on Wednesday gunned down ruling National Conference leader Abdul Rashid Chaloo in Jammu and Kashmir where six ultras were killed overnight in separate gun battles with security forces.

Eight boys, who were being taken for imparting training in subversive activities, were rescued by security forces, an official spokesman said.

Militants gunned down Chaloo, a NC block president and close associate of Works Minister A M Sagar, in downtown Srinagar around noon on Wednesday, the spokesman said.

Chaloo was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, he said.

In another incident, three Hizbul Mujahideen militants were killed in a gun battle with security forces at Dharsa in Udhampur district, he said.

Meanwhile, two ultras were killed in another gun fight in Badrikote-Waripora in Baramulla district, the spokesman said.

Two assault rifles and a letter pad of the Hizbul Momineen, a militant outfit, were recovered from their possession, he said.

Another militant was killed in a gun battle with security forces at Ranipora-Mattan in Anantnag district, the spokesman said.

Two houses and a shop were damaged in the exchange of fire, he added.
