EXCERPT: "Militants struck twice in a day in the Kashmir Valley, killing two civilians and a policeman and injuring eight people, three of them securitymen, Tuesday. The rebels opened fire in the capital city's crowded business centre of Lal Chowk and then attacked a police patrol in Sopore town. A shop worker was killed and two civilians and two troopers were injured in the Lal Chowk militant attack - the second in the city in three days, police said. City police chief Javaid Riyaz told IANS that three militants opened fire with automatic weapons from a close range at a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) posse in the main business hub of the city when the area was bustling with shoppers in the morning. He said five people -- three civilians and two CRPF troopers -- were injured in the firing before the guerrillas escaped in the labyrinthine lanes of Lal Chowk, the heart of Srinagar."
