SRINAGAR, INDIA -JULY 9: Kashmiri people gather during a funeral procession of Hizbul Mujahideen Commander Burhan Wani at his hometown in Tral some 40 kms from Srinagar, on July 9, 2016 in Srinagar, India. Top Hizbul Mujahideen Commander Burhan Wani, a 21-year-old poster boy of militancy in the Valley with a Rs. 10-lakh bounty, was killed in an encounter with security forces in south Kashmir’s Kokernag on Friday. Wani’s death is a huge setback to the group as he was a star recruiter and the brain behind many attacks, though he rarely participated in them.
