India: Islamists Kill Again In Kashmir Suicide Attack
Following on from the attack on a Congress Party rally in Srinigar, Jammu & Kashmir State in India on May 21, another attack happened yesterday.
The Pakistan Daily Times reports that in Srinigar, a suicide attacker rammed a car loaded with explosives into a paramilitary truck. He blew up himself and one soldier, and injured 19 others.
A man phoned newspaper offices saying that his group, the Hezbul Mujahedeen, carried out the attack. This is one of the several Islamist groups which campaign through terror to have Kashmir secede from India.
The attack happened shortly before the arrival today of India's Prime Minister, Manmohan SIngh, who is scheduled to disscuss the issue of Kashmir with Muslim groups who do not advcocate violence today and tomorrow.
Half a million soldiers are posted around the state, and security leading up to the Prime Minister's arrival has been stepped up. Residents and cars are being searched.
