Militants threaten to disrupt Kashmir bus service

A Pakistan-based militant group today threatened to disrupt a historic new bus service across the military line that divides Kashmir if it led to more “atrocities” by Indian forces in the disputed Himalayan region.

The foreign ministers of India and Pakistan yesterday announced the start of the service on April 7 – the most concrete outcome yet from a year of peace talks, raising hopes for a permanent rapprochement between the two nuclear-armed countries.
