Mourners riot over Kashmir protest deaths
2008-08-13
Angry Muslims mourning at least 20 protesters killed by police torched security bunkers and rioted in Indian Kashmir's main city on Wednesday, as a land row with Hindus revived calls for independence.

Police fired teargas shells to disperse thousands of Muslim protesters who defied a curfew at several places across Kashmir Valley, police said.

They said over two dozen people were injured in clashes between stone-throwing protesters and police.

A curfew remained in force in much of the valley after some of the biggest protests since a separatist revolt against Indian rule broke out in 1989 over what Muslim traders said was an economic blockade of their region by Hindus in adjoining Jammu.
The slogans they shouted didn't seem to include "all you need is love".

I'm confused.
