Three killed, 250 rescued in Kashmir suicide attack

AFP, Kashmir
Two policeman and a civilian were killed Thursday when heavily-armed Islamic militants raided the administrative headquarters of Indian Kashmir, trapping some 250 civilians who were later freed by security forces.
A paramilitary officer said "two or more" militants had sneaked into the fortified complex in the Kashmir summer capital Srinagar on a suicide mission.
An intense rattle of gunfire forced some 250 people trapped inside, among them government workers and members of the public, to wait for armoured military trucks to ferry them to safety, the officer said.
Within two hours of the 2.30 pm (0900 GMT) attack, all had been rescued, said K. Srinivasan, deputy inspector general of the Border Security Force (BSF) which is heading the operation to flush out the rebels.
"All of them are out," Srinivasan told AFP at the snowbound complex late afternoon. "We will start the operation (against the rebels) once we are sure there are no civilians inside."
He said "two or more" rebels were holed up inside, while two policemen and a civilian had been killed in the gunfire.
BSF spokesman Neeraj Kumar said six people including civilians had been injured.
One of about a dozen rebel groups operating in the region, Al Mansurian, claimed responsibility for the attack in telephone calls to local newspapers.
Ghulam Khadir, a state administration employee, said he was lucky to be alive.
"We heard gunshots and we ducked for cover and remained inside one of the buildings as the firing grew, but then soldiers came in and rescued us," said Khadir. "It was a terrifying moment."
BSF troops carrying heavy weaponry surrounded the complex on the banks of the frozen river Jhelum, and fired into offices where they believed the militants were holed up.
The attack comes as the Kashmiri administration grapples with the heaviest snowfalls in two decades that have brought the region to a near-standstill and sparked avalanches in southern districts which have killed some 231 people.
The complex houses hundreds of government employees who oversee the civilian administration of the troubled Muslim-majority region, where over 40,000 people have died in a rebellion against Indian rule since 1989.
Police and troops cordoned off the buildings next to the state legislature.
