New Delhi, Jun 5 (KMW): Ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Kashmir, J and K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has raised a question mark over recent "encounter killings" by security forces in the state and made a strong pitch for changes in the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) to make it more transparent."Obviously there would be doubts. This is the problem when a handful of people for their short-term gains are willing to sacrifice the long-term interests of not only forces they represent but that of everybody else," he told NDTV. He was asked whether there were doubts about recent encounters involving security forces along the Line of Control (LoC). The army had on April 30 said they had killed three unidentified infiltrators in Machhil sector along the LoC.
