Indian police were hunting on Thursday two masked men responsible for the pre-dawn killing of four soldiers at an army base in northern India. The attack took place Wednesday morning at the Bathinda military station in Punjab, a northern state where tensions have been high over the resurgence of a separatist movement. A police report quoting an army major who claimed to have witnessed the attack, said two unidentified men had entered the highly guarded outpost with their faces covered.
