Fierce police-militants clash in Delhi

Two bombing suspects gunned down

AFP, New Delhi
Indian police shot dead two alleged militants during a fierce gun battle in a Muslim area of New Delhi yesterday, including a leader of a shadowy group behind a spate of deadly bombings.
The fighting erupted around a house in Jamia Nagar, in the soudi of the capital, when police acting on a tip-off discovered a group of around five armed men holed up in a building in a maze of narrow streets.
The ensuing hour long battle came less than a week after the city was hit by coordinated bomb attacks claimed by the group of one ofthe slain men.
Tn this operation, Atif alias Bashir, who was one of main leaders of the Indian Mujahideen, was killed. He is linked with the blasts
all over the country," New Delhi police commissioner Y.S. Dadhwal told reporters.
Over the past five months, serial bombings claimed by the Indian Mujahideen have hit the cities of Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and New Delhi -- leaving at least 130 dead and many more wounded.
The police official said the operation ended with two militants dead and one in custody. 1\vo others managed to flee.
New Delhi was rocked by blasts in busy shopping areas last Saturday that left 22 dead and around 100 wounded.
The wave of nationwide attacks have forced the government to confront the emergence of an indigenous Muslim militancy.
The dramatiq shoot-out in India's capital came a day after the government unveiled new security
measures designed to tackle what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said were "vast gaps" in intelligence gathering on militants.
The cabinet approved proposals to hire 7,000 additional policemen in New Delhi, install surveillance cameras in busy areas and create a research wing in its intelligence agency.
Singh said India had to face up to the growing involvement of home-grown militants in attacks.
In the past, India has focused its limited counter-terrorist and intelligence resources on neighbouring Pakistan, which it accuses of orchestrating militant attacks.
Hindu-majority India has around 140 million Muslims. While tensions have always existed, India's Muslims have in the past largely resisted organised militancy.
