Kashmir gun battle ends
Government forces in Indian-controlled Kashmir ended a 20-hour gun battle with suspected rebels yesterday, shooting and killing the two attackers who paralyzed the region's main city.
The attack was the first prolonged gunfight in Srinagar since 2006 and raised concerns about a possible spike in violence in the tense region after years of declining attacks.
