Three militants were shot dead and six hostages freed in the Jammu area of Kashmir. Two women and four children were rescued, but the militants had killed three male hostages. Read the story of the children in The Indian Express:
Sheetal, Arshil, Kajal and Vipan would like to forget Wednesday as quickly as possible, but they probably never will. Three militants in khaki who locked the children in a room and threatened to put bullets in their heads if they so much as wept have, in 17 blood-soaked hours, scarred them for life.
A day of gunfire and trauma came to an end with six bodies being taken out of Billu Ram Bhagat’s yellow two-storey house on the outskirts of Jammu some time before midnight. Three of the dead were killers of the other three – Billu’s tenant and his children’s tutor Ashok Kumar, the family’s neighbour Sandeep Singh Chib, and Military Intelligence Jawan Sham Murari who had followed the militants to the house.
