At least six people have been killed as security forces opened
fire on protesters in Indian-administered Kashmir, officials say.It is unclear
what sparked the protest. Some reports suggest it came after troops entered a
local mosque.
Angry crowds then gathered
outside the Border Security Force (BSF) camp in Ramban district in
Jammu.Kashmir, claimed by India and Pakistan, has seen protests and an
insurgency against Indian rule since 1989.Local reports say that many were
injured when the police opened fire on Thursday. Some are in a critical
condition.
“The BSF soldiers
fired indiscriminately, downing protesters left, right and centre,” one witness
who did not want to be identified Protests have spread across Kashmir, with
angry crowds on the streets in the capital, Srinagar, too. There has been no
immediate response from the security forces. Media reports say that BSF
personnel were among the injured. Authorities have announced an inquiry and
separatist groups have called for a shutdown across the region on Friday. In
recent years violence in the region has abated from its peak in the 1990s, but
the causes of the Kashmir insurgency are still far from resolved. http://
