The Jammu and Kashmir police recovered a body of a Hizbul Mujaheedin militant from the Tangmarg area of north Kashmir's Baramulla district this morning, reports Mukhtar Ahmad/Rediff.com.

A senior police officer said body of Fayaz Ahmad Bhat, a militant of Hizbul Mujaheedin was recovered from Devbugh village near Tangmarg. Earlier this week bodies of three militants, belonging to the Lashkar-e-Islami outfit, a breakaway group of Hizbul Mujaheedin had been recovered from the Pattan area. They were killed in group rivalry.

The killing of the Hizbul Mujaheedin militant is also attributed by police sources to the same factor of group rivalry between the two groups.
