Guerrillas kill contractor in Kashmir

Kashmiri rebels have shot dead a military contractor in the town Kreeri today in Indian-administered Kashmir.

The police have identified the dead man as Nazir Ahmed Lone and said he was shot several times in the abdomen and head by a number of gunmen.

In a separate attack, two police officers and two civilians were wounded in a grenade attack in the Batmallo area of Srinagar city. All of the injured were taken to a local hospital. One of the injured, an assistant engineer in the Roads Department, was said to be in a critical condition.

Kashmir is a disputed territory with India, Pakistan and China all laying claim to the mountainous region. Kashmiri rebels wish to see the province become an independent state.
