#1 It's over: Indian troops ended one of the longest sieges in Kashmir's main city by blowing up a building on Thursday where gunmen had been holed up. At least four people were killed in the three-day siege in Srinagar, including an army major and a suspected rebel. A defense spokesman said troops pounded the building, near an army headquarters, with mortars and set off bombs to flatten it. The spokesman said soldiers would search the debris on Friday for bodies of the gunmen. It was not known how many gunmen had been in the building.
They'll be counting fingers and toes to get a final figure, could take a while.
