Five killed in occupied Kashmir

24 Jan, 2004

Suspected freedom fighters killed four people, including a pro-India political worker in occupied Kashmir, while occupation troops shot dead a freedom fighter, occupation police said on Friday.
Maqbool Jan, a worker of pro-India political group Awami League, was shot dead by suspected freedom fighters in the town of Bandipora on Friday, an occupation police spokesman said.
January was close to Usman Majeed, a freedom fighter-turned-lawmaker from the area.
The Awami League was formed in 1995 by former freedom fighters, who changed sides and worked with occupation troops to counter freedom fight.
They have been on the hit-list of freedom fighters fighting to secede Kashmir from India and join it with neighbouring Pakistan or remain independent.
Suspected freedom fighters overnight shot dead a retired police inspector in the village of Kawachak.
Occupation police said a body of a Muslim youth was recovered in Pulwama on Friday.
