SRINAGAR, India - At least three Indian tourists, including a child, were killed on Thursday when suspected Islamist militants threw a grenade at their bus in Kashmir’s main city, Srinagar, police and witnesses said.
The attack, which also wounded seven tourists, came as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wound up two days of talks in the city with local political leaders over the fate of the Himalayan region, split between India and Pakistan and claimed by both.
Militants fighting Indian rule had called a strike for the two days of the talks and vowed to disrupt them. The blast took place several km (miles) from where Singh held his meetings.
