2 killed in skirmish between BSF and militants

Mukhtar Ahmad in Srinagar

One civilian and a Border Security Force jawan were killed and six others injured in an exchange of fire between militants and security forces in Baramullah Thursday evening.

The skirmish followed close on the heels of two bomb blasts in Srinagar early in the day that killed 10 people, including a journalist, and left 27 others injured.

The blasts were the first major terrorist strike after the Hizbul Mujahideen withdrew its cease-fire offer on Tuesday.
