SRINAGAR: Indian security forces on Friday killed seven Kashmiris during gunbattles in the occupied valley – the highest number of clashes in a single day in recent years. The JeM reportedly claimed a suicide attack last month that killed 40 Indian paramilitary troopers in occupied Kashmir and brought Pakistan and India to the brink of war. Since the attack on February 14, Indian authorities say 22 militants have been killed in occupied Kashmir. Police said he had been trying to escape and inquiries were being carried out into the cause of his death. Indian authorities on Friday also banned the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front.
