A fierce gunbattle between Muslim rebels and Indian security forces in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir has killed six insurgents and two soldiers, an army spokesman said Friday.
Fighting erupted Thursday night in densely forested Rafiabad, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Srinagar, Indian Kashmir's main city, after army troops and police received information about the presence of militants in the area, Col. Vineet Sood said. (AP)
