| Militants early Wednesday launched an attack near a stadium in Kashmir where Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is due to address a rally later, police said. Witnesses said an intense gunbattle was raging between the militants and the security forces in Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar, while Indian television channels reported that a civilian had been killed in the crossfire. Singh, paying his first visit to Kashmir since taking office in May, was due Wednesday to address a public rally at Sheri Kashmir stadium, just 200 metres (yards) from the Sulaiman Center complex where the gunfight was under way. |
