Sikhs Kill Teacher, Nephew in Punjab
AMRITSAR, India — Sikh terrorists Tuesday killed a 43-year-old teacher and his 22-year-old nephew at a village 30 miles north of Amritsar as police enforced a security crackdown in Punjab state, seizing arms from a Hindu temple and arresting about 30 Hindu militants in a clash that left three officials injured.
Authorities also arrested a number of Sikh radicals and placed them in preventive detention as part of a two-day-old move to blunt attendance at a mass rally called by militants at the Golden Temple of Amritsar on Sunday. Unofficial sources said more than 300 people have been rounded up since Sunday.
