Three suspected militants blow themselves up in PoK

Islamabad, Nov 21 (PTI) Three suspected Taliban militants
blew themselves up after being cornered by police in
Pakistan-occupied Kashmir though there were no casualties.
Police launched a search in PoK capital Muzaffarabad
after it was reported that three men had dumped a bag of
weapons on a road in the town.
The trio blew themselves up after police surrounded them
in Sarar village on the outskirts of Muzaffarabad.
A crowd gathered near the field where the bodies were
lying. Police officials said they had found two heads and a
torso.
Some officials said the three men could have been
militants who fled South Waziristan after the army launched an
operation there against the Taliban.
Militants have carried out a wave of suicide bombings
across Pakistan in recent weeks but there have been no attacks
in PoK.
Two soldiers were killed in the first suicide attack in
PoK in June.
There have also been reports that groups like
Lashker-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed are active in the region.
