Fired Guns in Self-defence as Mob Tried to Set an Army Ambulance on Fire: Army SRINAGAR: The Army said while it had no hand in the killing of one youth, the other died when troops opened fire in self-defence as a mob tried to set an army ambulance on fire in north Kashmir. “Based on intelligence inputs about movement of militants through the area, an ambush was laid. Firing of shots were heard outside the cordon area and later it was found that one youth has been killed,” an army official quoted by Hindustan Times as saying. He said some time later when the army ambulance was carrying doctors and some other staff through the area, a mob attacked it and tried to set the vehicle on fire. “The troops opened firing in self-defence, which resulted in the death of the second youth,” the army official added. Police officials, who are monitoring the situation, are tight-lipped about the incident.
