Azad Malik, three others from LeT and two from Hizb shot dead in J&K forest
Six local militants were killed in a nightlong operation in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on Friday. Among those dead was Azad Ahmad Malik, a suspect in the killing of the Editor of Rising Kashmir Shujaat Bukhari earlier this year.
"It is a major success. The operation was carried out without any collateral damage," Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, S.P. Pani told The Hindu.
Hiding in jungle
The six militants were hiding in a jungle in Sekipora at Bijbehara, Anantnag, and a contact was established "before sunrise."
The police identified the slain militants as Azad Ahmad Malik, Unais Shafi, Basit Ishtiyaq, Atif Najar, Firdous Ahmad and Shahid Bashir, all from south Kashmir.
