Indian troops kill five rebels and a 12-year-old boy who, officials allege, was taken hostage by the rebels, in India-administered Kashmir
Entire neighbourhoods in Kashmir often march towards sites of gun battles between rebels and government forces, attempting to rescue rebels.Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since British colonial rule ended in 1947. Both claim it in full and have fought two wars over the territory.
Most Kashmiris support the rebel cause while also participating in civilian street protests against Indian control. Atif was killed during the encounter at Hajin when the house in which militants were hiding was destroyed by armed forces. Atif was held hostage by militants. Militants & armed forces are both responsible for this murder. Surely militants are accused of a horrible crime.
