Two suspected rebels killed in Indian Kashmir
Two suspected Muslim rebels were shot dead in separate gunbattles with troops and nine people on a tourist route were hurt in a grenade attack Wednesday in Indian Kashmir, police said.
The people were hurt when a grenade exploded in the hands of a suspected militant as he was about to hurl it at a security patrol near a busy bus stand in Magam, 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the summer capital Srinagar.
"Nine people were hurt, including a suspected militant," a police spokesman said. "We have not been able to question him as his condition is critical."
