NEW DELHI (AP) — Three suspected militants killed in a gunbattle in the disputed region of Kashmir were responsible for a shooting massacre in which more than two dozen people died and that led to a military clash between India and Pakistan earlier this year, a Indian government official said Tuesday.
The Pakistani nationals were killed Monday in a joint operation by the military, paramilitary and police on the outskirts of Kashmir's main city of Srinagar, Home Minister Amit Shah said in India's lower house of parliament. The Associated Press couldn't independently verify the details.
