Four militants have been killed in clashes between rival separatists in troubled Nagaland, highlighting the difficulties brokering an end to India's oldest insurgency, officials said.

The Indian government last month held historic talks with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), which has been fighting for decades for a Naga homeland in the hilly province bordering Myanmar.

But the Naga separatist movement is highly factionalized and the talks in New Delhi only included the NSCN I-M branch headed by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah.

Police said heavily armed militants from the NSCN faction headed by S.S. Khaplang attacked a camp housing their rivals Friday, killing three of them.

The attack occurred in the Zunheboto district, 60 kilometers (37 miles) east of Nagaland's capital Kohima.

Another member of the NSCN I-M faction was shot dead by the rival group near Kohima earlier in the week, police said Saturday.
