7 Hindu Pilgrims Dies in an Attack

Seven Hindu pilgrims have died in a militant attack in India-administered Kashmir after their bus got caught in a crossfire.

Their bus was returning from the Amarath care pilgrimage site in the Anantnag district when the attack took place.

Police told newsmen that the target appeared to be a nearby counterinsurgency base.

The attack which also left 19 other people injured is likely to heighten tension in the disputed region.
