The Hizbul Mujahideen has threatened Saturday to target families of Indian troops in retaliation for the deaths of civilians.
"We may take the unpleasant step of targeting the families of Indian troopers if they do not stop killing civilians in our homeland," Hizb leader Syed Salahuddin said.
He was reacting to the shooting of four people by security forces at Higam north of Srinagar on Thursday during a protest.
Another person died in Srinagar on Friday when police opened fire on hundreds of stone-throwing demonstrators.
"If killings continue, we may be compelled to target families of Indian troops so that they understand the anguish and pain of relatives of civilians slain by them," the Hizb leader said.

died in Kashmir since separatist groups launched an anti-Indian rebellion
12 years ago. (AFP)
