An Indian policeman walks past a residential house where suspected militants were holed up at Chinore on the outskirts of Jammu August 28, 2008. Suspected Muslim militants who slipped across the border from Pakistan into Indian Kashmir were shot dead by security forces after they killed six people in the Hindu-majority region of Jammu on Wednesday, police said. The three militants disguised as policemen were holed up in a house for 18 hours where they killed three of nine hostages they were holding and set booby traps, officials said.
