Clashes in Indian Kashmir over 'staged' killings
Sunday, 30 May 2010
SRINAGAR, May 29 (AFP): The police in Indian Kashmir fired teargas Saturday to disperse thousands of villagers protesting against what they said was the staged killing of three Muslims by the security forces.
Late last month, the military said it had foiled an infiltration bid by killing three militants along the de facto border that divides Kashmir between South Asian rivals India and Pakistan.
But three families in the northern district of Baramulla said the slain men were "innocent" relatives who had gone missing three days before.
