Srinagar: Striking twice within a span of six hours, militants Monday killed two security force personnel and wounded as many persons in south Kashmir.
A CRPF jawan was killed and another injured when ultras fired at the escort of ruling National Conference MLC Shoukat Ahmad Ganie in village Almeira in Shopian district, 52-km from here, officials said.
Ganie was in the village to attend a private function and was inside a house when the militants struck at around 6.25 PM, they said.
The attackers took away the service rifles of the dead and injured jawans before fleeing, the officials said.
Security forces immediately cordoned off the area to track down the ultras.
Earlier in the day, militants shot dead a policeman and took away his service rifle in Anantnag district.
A civilian was also injured in the firing and was hospitalised, the officials said.
