KASHMIR-ENCOUNTER

Srinagar, Sept 13 (PTI) Three militants were killed
in an encounter with security forces in the forests of
Bandipora district of Indian state Kashmir on Monday.
Acting on a tip off, army troops launched a search
operation to flush out militants hiding in a forest on the
outskirts of Bandipora town, 55 kms from here, early on
Monday, defence spokesman Lt Colonel J S Brar said.
He said the search party confronted a group of hiding
militants and asked them to surrender. However, the ultras
opened fire in an attempt to break the security cordon and
in the ensuing gunbattle, three militants were killed.
The identity and group affiliation of the slain
militants could not be ascertained immediately as the
operation was still continuing when last reports were
received, the spokesman said. PTI MIJ RET
