Six Tourists Kidnapped in Kashmir Hostage Incident
Six tourists were abducted in early July in the Himalayas Kashmir region. One escaped after a few days, Norwegian Hans Christian Ostro was killed, and four others—Donald Hutchings 42 of Spokane Washington Keith Mangan 33 and Paul Wells 23 of England and Dirk Hasert 26 of Germany—remain missing. Ostro was found near Pahalgam August 13. A caller in a ransom case offered few details, saying rebels had not contacted the government in two days. Government spokesman Jandiyal said there had been ongoing contact. Muslim militants have fought Indian troops for five years seeking Kashmir independence amid India's Hindu majority population. Al-Faran claimed army attacks on hideouts, which the government denies.
