Mudasir Ahmed Khan was described by authorities as a top commander with Jaish-e-Mohammad, the militant group behind the deadly 14 February bombing in Kashmir.
SRINAGAR/INDIA - Indian police said Monday that one of the "key conspirators" behind a suicide attack that killed at least 40 troops in Kashmir had died in a shootout with government forces.
Pakistan, which denied supporting JeM, responded by shooting down an Indian warplane and capturing the pilot, whose return two days later pulled the nuclear-armed rivals back from the brink. KJS Dhillon, the local army commander in Kashmir, said Monday that 14 alleged JeM militants, including six commanders, had been eliminated in a crackdown in the aftermath of the bombing.
Resistance to Indian rule in the Muslim-majority region has spiked in recent years, with public demonstrations turning violent and soldiers pelted with stones in clashes that have seen civilians killed.
