Militant gunned down

Indian security forces on Wednesday gunned down a militant in an encounter in Jammu, after three militants managed to sneak into the region disguised in police uniform killing four people. Militants entered the Mishriwala area and fired indiscriminately killing four people and injuring two security personnel. They also took six people including two children as hostage. The killings come as Jammu and Kashmir is convulsed by protests sparked by a land row.
