2 cops killed in Indian Kashmir

Suspected militants killed two police outside a court in Indian Kashmir on Monday, hours after another officer was stabbed in a separate incident in the restive region, police said. "Two policemen died in the shooting by militants on a truck outside the court complex," police superintendent Tejinder Singh told the news agency. The firing took place in Pulwama town, 30 kilometres south of the region's main city of Srinagar, as a group of police arrived to deliver food to colleagues on duty at the court, a police officer said. Earlier, a police officer was stabbed and critically injured in a marketplace in the nearby town of Pampore by an unknown assailant who was overpowered and arrested as he tried to flee, according to AFP.
