SRINAGAR Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Womens Jersey , Indian-controlled Kashmir, May 1 (Xinhua) -- At least five policemen and two bank guards were killed Monday after militants attacked a bank cash carrying vehicle in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.
The vehicle was attacked at village Pombai in Kulgam district, about 78 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"Today we have received seven bodies in our hospital. Out of them five are of policemen and two are bank guards," Dr R D Kasana, medical superintendent at Kulgam district hospital told Xinhua over telephone. "All the bodies bore multiple bullet wounds."
"They were brought dead to the hospital," he said.
The vehicle belonged to Jammu and Kashmir Bank and policemen were send to guard it.
"We have reached the spot and are trying to collect details as how militants carried out the brutal attack," a senior police official posted in Kulgam said.
Eyewitnesses said they saw bullets holes in the vehicle, besides blood splashed inside it.
Reports said militants have taken away five service rifles of the policemen following the attack, besides looting currency notes (around INR 5 million) from the vehicle.
Following the attack police and Indian army rushed to the spot to carry out searches. However, the assailants have managed to escape.
So far no militant outfit has claimed responsibility of the attack.
On Sunday evening, a civilian was killed and five people including four policemen were wounded after suspected militants hurled a grenade on a police party in Srinagar.
A guerrilla war is going on between militants and Indian troops stationed in the region since 1989.
Last month the region's police chief issued an advisory to its personnel cautioning them to avoid visiting their homes for few months. The advisory was issued in wake of the spate in incidents of gunmen entering houses of policemen and damaging their property besides asking them to quit jobs.

TOKYO, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Nikkei stock index closed in positive territory for a sixth straight day Friday, rising 0.19 percent as the yen remained comparatively weak against the U.S. dollar, but while exporters got a boost from favorable exchange rates, caps were gained as some investors hit the sidelines in later trade ahead of a key jobs report due out from the U.S. later in the day.
The Nikkei 225 index rose 33.24 points to close at 17,920.45, while the broader Topix index of all first-section issues gained 0. 35 percent, or 5.07 points, to finish at 1,445.67.
Brokers said that investors looked to take profits in early trade following the market's recent run of fresh seven-year closing highs, including Friday's, but the yen's retreat against the U.S. dollar boosting the outlook for exporters' corporate earnings and a strong lead from Wall Street overnight, had some investors switching to buying mode, albeit it in choppy trade. "The effects of the weaker yen and lower oil on companies' earnings still aren't priced in. There are no worries about the U. S. economy. Today's non-farm payrolls should come in close to consensus,"said Hajime Sakai, a portfolio manager at Mito Securities Co.
But other analysts added that the market mood was still a little circumspect ahead of the U.S. jobs report because of the European Central Bank chief's remarks that the bank was not ready to launch an initiative to buy back sovereign debt and dampening investors hopes for more easing by the ECB.
But with the U.S. dollar changing hands at around the 120.09 yen-level in afternoon trade, compared to the 120 yen-mark logged on Thursday, exporters who see their overseas profits augmented when repatriated and their overall competitiveness boosted, found favor on the last trading day of the week.
Nissan, Japan's second-largest automaker by sales, accelerated 1.3 percent to 1,135 yen, while Isuzu Motors Ltd. jumped 4.6 percent to close at 1,595 yen. Toyota edged forward 0.16 percent to 7,742 yen, while smaller rival Honda added 0.35 percent to close at 3,738 yen.
Consumer electronics behemoth Sony added 1.3 percent to 2,677 yen, while Hitachi Construction Machinery climbed 2.7 percent to end the day at 2,756 yen.
Sumco, a silicon wafer maker for semiconductors, jumped 13 percent to 1,806 yen, boosted by a global rally for the industry following the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closing Thursday at a 13-year high.
But retailers were among notable decliners Friday, with Ryohin Keikaku Co., the owner of the popular Muji chain of lifestyle stores, slipping 2.1 percent to 13,750 yen, while J. Front Retailing Co., which operates both the Daimaru and Matsuzakaya department stores, fell 3.6 percent to close at 1,483 yen.
Fast Retailing, operator of the Uniqlo high street casual apparel chain, also closed in negative territory, losing 1.56 percent to 43,240 yen, while mobile carrier SoftBank shed 0.23 percent to finish at 7,785 yen.
But while online entertainment firm Gungho surged 18 percent to 522 yen, marking its biggest advance since May 2013, on reports of an overseas expansion, embattled auto component maker Takata, embroiled in a multinational recall scandal involving its faulty airbags, which have been implicated in a number of fatalities and injuries, retreated 0.53 percent to end the week at 1,324 yen.
