Four killed, 18 injured in Kashmir violence

Guerrilla attacks in Kashmir killed four people and injured 18 others on today, as India accused rival and neighbour Pakistan of funding and arming Islamic militants in the disputed region.

The attacks came as most schools, offices and shops in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu-Kashmir, closed in response to a strike called by the All Party Hurriyat Conference to protest the presence of Indian troops in the Himalayan state.
