SRINAGAR- Militants ambushed a convoy carrying paramilitary forces in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Friday, killing two security officers and wounding seven others, police said.
The militants escaped after carrying out the attack on the outskirts of Srinagar, summer capital of India's Jammu and Kashmir state, a senior police officer told Reuters.
Security forces were searching for the gunmen, he said, asking not to be named because he is not authorised to speak to the media. The two dead included a paramilitary officer and a policeman who died in hospital.
Militants fighting Indian rule in Kashmir have carried out several attacks in recent weeks, the largest of which was a Sept. 18 raid on an Indian army base that killed 19 soldiers.
