2006-05-24 |
![]() A man who said he was a member of Kashmir's largest militant group Hezbul Mujahedeen said in a call to newspaper offices that the militant outfit had carried out the attack. The car exploded on the road that leads to the airport in the city despite intense security put in place this week ahead of the visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the city. Singh will be in Srinagar on Wednesday and Thursday to hold talks over Kashmir and review security in India's most militarised region. Unprecedented security has been deployed for the past two days in the city that already has thousands of soldiers, part of the half a million troops deployed across the state. Residents are being frisked, cars being stopped and patrols intensified. |
