Dying to kill
It is reported in the press that in Pakistan, 12 security personnel were killed last month when a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a check post in Pakistan’s north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Three militants were killed and an Army Major was injured on Thursday in a gunfight between the holed up militants and the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district.
The militants were killed in Kakapora area in a joint operation by the security forces including Rashtriya Rifles, Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), a police spokesman said.

Police sources said an Army Major was also injured during the fierce exchange of gunfire.
Following specific information about the presence of militants, security forces late on Wednesday evening surrounded the New Colony area.
As the security forces tightened the cordon, the hiding militants fired at them, triggering a gunfight.
"Searches are still going on but the firing has ended," the police spokesman said.
