Two Killed in Grenade Blast Outside School
From Times Wire Reports
A grenade exploded outside a school in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, killing two women and wounding at least 57 people, many of them schoolchildren and their parents, police said.
The grenade was apparently thrown at a passing Border Security Force vehicle in central Srinagar but missed, officer Mohammed Hasib said.
Police suspected Muslim rebels, but no group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack and most separatist parties condemned it.
