Dead bodies of militants STORYLINE : India's army on Tuesday said it had killed 12 suspected Islamic militants in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, nine of whom it claimed had slipped across the disputed border with Pakistan. The 12 were reportedly killed in three gun battles in India's only majority Muslim state, where Islamic separatists have been fighting Indian security forces for more than a decade. In fighting overnight north of the city of Srinagar, soldiers said they intercepted two groups of suspected infiltrators in forested areas near the border, killing nine. Another three suspected Muslim guerrillas were reported killed in a separate clash on Tuesday with paramilitary forces. The army said there were no Indian casualties in the fighting. There was no independent confirmation of the casualty figures. According to the army, the shoot-outs with the two groups of suspected infiltrators marked the second and third attempts in the past two days by Pakistan-based insurgents to enter the Indian part of Kashmir. Five were killed in the Keran sector, 180 kilometres (115 miles) north of Srinagar, in a gun battle that lasted seven hours. Soldiers killed four others in a fight in the Maschil sector, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) away. On Sunday, the army killed seven suspected guerrillas after they crossed over from Pakistan-held territory in the same area. The Himalayan province is divided between India and Pakistan and is claimed by both in its entirety. India accuses Pakistan of training, arming and sending Islamic militants into Indian-controlled territory to attack soldiers and government targets. Pakistan says it provides only moral and diplomatic support for the rebels. More than a dozen rebel groups have been fighting for Kashmir's independence from India or its merger with Pakistan since 1989. India says infiltration by insurgents is continuing despite Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf's claim that he has done whatever necessary to stop the movement across the border. Elections for the state legislature in Indian-controlled Kashmir are scheduled to be held in September and October. New Delhi says it will hold talks with Pakistan on the Kashmir dispute only after Islamabad stops supporting cross-border terrorism.
