NEW DELHI, India - Gunmen suspected of being Muslim rebels burst into homes of Hindu villagers in northern India, took away seven men and killed them. 

Friday night's attacks in Sangrampora, a village 20 miles south of Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir state, has created panic among the Hindu families. 

Police said the killers fled in the dark and troops were searching for them. 

Hundreds of thousands of Hindus left the Kashmir valley for Hindu-dominated areas after a Muslim separatist insurgency erupted there in 1989. A few families stayed behind to look after ancestral farmlands or businesses.
