Militants storm Kashmir army camp, 17 killed

INDIA: Militants hurling grenades stormed an army camp Friday in Indian Kashmir and killed 11 security officials, police said, ratcheting up violence in the Muslim-majority region which is voting in state elections.
Six of the attackers also died in the shootout at the sprawling army camp in Uri, near the heavily militarised Line of Control (LoC) dividing the disputed Himalayan territory between India and Pakistan. The raid, one of the deadliest in years on an Indian Kashir army camp, was one of several attacks in the restive region Friday and came days before the state votes in the third of five phases of state elections, according to a news agency.
