Security forces kill 4 militants in Indian Kashmir 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseSecurity forces killed four militants in Indian-administered Kashmir Saturday, police said, as the disputed Muslim-majority territory simmers under a lockdown imposed by New Delhi after it revoked its constitutional autonomy in August. Security forces had tightened restrictions in Kashmir and the Hindu-majority Jammu region on Friday, fearing protests ahead of speeches at the UN by the leaders of India and Pakistan. The divided Kashmir region has been a source of major tension and conflict between India and Pakistan since 1947. India has repeatedly insisted that Kashmir is purely an internal matter and has bristled at outside comment or suggestions of mediation.
