| Two children killed by grenade in Indian Kashmir |
| 2008-03-21 |
| Two boys, aged five and 14, were killed Friday in revolt-hit Indian Kashmir when a hand grenade they mistook for a toy exploded, police said. The explosion took place in the remote Doda district in Indian Kashmir, where separatist Islamic rebels have been fighting New Delhi's rule since 1989. The Muslim children's deaths came two days after Indian soldiers shot dead four rebels belonging to the pro-Pakistan Lashkar-e-Toiba militant group in the area. Police said they believed the rebel grenade had fallen to the ground during the clash and not exploded. "The children mistook the grenade for a toy and started playing with it," a police spokesman said, adding that ballistics experts were checking the area to find out if there were other unexploded grenades. |

#1 elsewhere in Kashmir...  Indian village defence committee, VDC member Renu Bala aiming targete during a training camp organized by Indian army to protect themselves and their homes from militants at Sarya village near Indo-Pak line of control about 140 KM from the Northern Indian city of Jammu, winter capital of Kashmir on 16 March, 2008. 27 women from Sarya village have been trained to use AK-47s and other heavy-duty weapons. Training of VDC members at regular interval would imbibe a sense of self-confidence and boost their confidence in dealing with an adverse situation, Indian army officer said. |
