MILITANTS BEHEAD WOMAN IN KASHMIR


August 28, 2004 - (IANS) Terrorists abducted and brutally killed a young woman by chopping off her head in Jammu and Kashmir, police here said Saturday.

Shehnaz Akhtar, 28, was kidnapped from her home in Sanjor village in Poonch district, 230 km north of Jammu, late Friday night. Her decapitated body was found in nearby forests Saturday morning.

She was the 55th woman to be killed by terrorists in Kashmir this year.

Terrorists forcibly took Shehnaz away from her home in the presence of her husband Pervez Khan, who was beaten with rifle butts when he tried to resist, police said.

The motive for the murder was not immediately known and no group has claimed responsibility for the killing.

Police said the murder of Shehnaz was the handiwork of separatist guerrillas who had embarked on a campaign to terrorise women in the border districts of Rajouri and Poonch.
