Four die in Kashmir clashes

At least four people in Indian-controlled Kashmir died today when gunmen opened fire on a bus as polls opened for the third phase in state elections, police said.

The bus was travelling on the national highway from the Indian capital Jammu, the winter capital of India’s disputed Jammu-Kashmir state, when it was attacked at the town of Hiranagar, 45 miles south of Jammu and near the border with Pakistan.
