| Islamic guerrillas lobbed a grenade at a paramilitary truck on Saturday but missed, wounding 12 civilians in a Kashmir market. A woman identified only as Zeba was critically wounded in the attack near a bus stand in Tral town, said Neeraj Sharma, a spokesman for the Border Security Force. She was brought to a hospital in Srinagar, he said. In another attack, school teacher Mehjabeen Bano was forcibly taken from her home by unidentified men and shot at point-blank range in Mangipora village, said her father, Mohammad Shafi Mir. Bano survived the attack but was in a critical condition in a Srinagar hospital. None of the dozen-odd militant groups operating in Kashmir immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. |
