Indian security forces kill five Muslim protesters in Kashmir
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Soldiers and police fired at Muslim protesters demanding an end to Indian rule in Kashmir as authorities arrested top separatist leaders in a bid to quash unrest that has left at least 39 people dead since June.
The five latest deaths came late Sunday in Srinagar, Kashmir's main city, and Monday in two towns and one village when security forces confronted angry protesters defying a curfew in the Kashmir Valley, the Muslim heart of India's Jammu and Kashmir state.
At least 38 people with bullet injuries were hospitalized in Srinagar during daylong street protests, doctors said.
