Kashmir bus bomb kills one and injures 23

One passenger died and 23 people were injured today when a bomb exploded on a bus heading for a Hindu pilgrimage site in Indian-controlled Kashmir, police and hospital sources said.

The bus was just leaving Jammu, the winter capital of India’s northern Jammu-Kashmir state, for a base camp where pilgrims set out to walk to a Hindu shrine in Katra, 30 miles north of Jammu.
