Kashmir Korpse Kount
NEW DELHI - Militants on Wednesday delivered a âgiftâ of a deadly car bomb to Indian Kashmirâs incoming chief minister as police released sketches of a key suspect in the weekend Delhi bombings that killed 62 people.
Police said five people including a suicide bomber were killed and more than a dozen wounded in Wednesdayâs car bomb blast in the Nowgam area on the outskirts of the Indian Kashmir summer capital Srinagar.
Islamic militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing in telephone calls to a local news agency. âThe car bomb is our first gift to Ghulam Nabi Azad,â Abu Qudama, spokesman for Jaish-e-Mohammed, told the Kashmir News Service.
Azad was later on Wednesday to be sworn is as the Himalayan stateâs new chief minister, as part of a power-sharing deal between the regional Peoples Democratic Party and Azadâs Congress party. The PDPâs chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed completed his three years in power on Wednesday.
