| [Dawn] At least two dozen people including 12 policemen were hurt on Tuesday in Muslim-majority Indian-administered Kashmir when police clashed with residents mourning the deaths of two rebels, officials said. The violence erupted south of the Kashmiri summer capital Srinagar after thousands joined the funeral procession of one of two rebels killed in a gun battle with soldiers the previous day, a police officer said. "Over two dozen people were injured, 12 of them policemen," the officer said, adding four of the demonstrators suffered bullet wounds when police opened fire after being pelted with stones. Police had used teargas and batons in an attempt to disperse the mourners who were chanting "we want freedom" and "Allah is great," said locals near Kulgam town, 70 kilometres south of Srinagar. |
