Three policemen killed in Kashmir terror attacks

Srigar, April 6: Three policemen were gunned down and a policeman and a former militant were left critically injured in three terror attacks — the first major strike in the Valley since the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed government came to power in March. A police officer said the guerrillas attacked a three-member police party at Amshipora village in Shopian district with automatic weapons, killing all of them on the spot. “A police party of three had gone to Amshipora village in connection with a crime investigation when militants attacked them with automatic weapons,” he said. “A head constable and two constables were killed in this attack.” The Shopian attack came barely hours after the guerrillas fired at and critically injured a police officer in Baramulla district.
