A relative of suspected militant Lateef Ahmad weeps during a funeral in a village of Wagub, 40 km (24 miles) north of Srinagar, October 9, 2007. Two militants including Ahmad from Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based Islamist organisation, were killed in a gun battle with Indian security forces and a residential house was damaged, police said. United Jihad Council (UJC), a Pakistan-based militant alliance fighting Indian rule in Kashmir announced on Monday a three-day unilateral ceasefire ahead of the holy Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr, a local news agency said.
