Militants holed up in caves, says India -DAWN - Top Stories; January 08, 2009: "SRINAGAR, Jan 7: A gunbattle between Indian troops and a group of militants raged for a seventh day on Wednesday, making it one of the longest battles in occupied Kashmir in years, officials said.
The fighting erupted last Thursday in the Poonch sector after soldiers and police, acting on a tip-off, carried out a search operation in a densely forested area.
The battle has so far left four militants, two soldiers and a policeman dead and several Indian personnel wounded.
The militants were using natural caves as hideouts, senior army officer Brigadier Gurdeep Singh said."
