Top Kashmir rebel leader killed; India claims major success

Indian government forces killed a top rebel commander and his aide in disputed Kashmir on Wednesday and shut down cellphone and mobile internet services during subsequent anti-India protests, officials and residents said. India's security officials and some members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party called his death as a major victory against insurgents. Naikoo, 35, was the chief of operations of the region's largest indigenous rebel group, Hizbul Mujahideen, which has spearheaded an armed rebellion against Indian rule.
