More protests rock tense Kashmir

Indian-administered Kashmir has witnessed more bloodshed with at least two protesters being shot dead by security forces amid continuing unrest in the troubled region. Police fired on a group of protesters on a highway near Srinagar, the main city in Kashmir, on Tuesday when they began a protest march in defiance of a strict curfew, a police official said. At least 42 people have died over the past seven weeks in street clashes between protesters and paramilitary troops. Angry young Kashmiris have attacked security camps with rocks and burned police stations. Government forces have responded by imposing round-the-clock curfews and using live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the protesters.
