Bomb blast five soldiers, injures 20 others in Kashmir
Srinagar, July. 20 (AP): A suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden car into an army jeep on Wednesday, killing at least five army soldiers and injuring 20 other people near a school in a high-security zone in Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.
No children were hurt inside the school in Srinagar, summer capital of Jammu-Kashmir, said senior police officer Haseeb Ahmed.
A Maruti 800 hatchback car followed an army jeep and rammed into it from behind outside the home of the State's Chief Justice and close to the Burnhall School, one of the State's most popular, Ahmed said.
The crushed remains of the car lay on the road near shreds of flesh and the bodies of soldiers, on a leafy avenue in an area where senior Government Ministers and Government officers live. The severely damaged army jeep lay toppled on a side. Bits of the engine, metal and glass shards and other debris lay on the blood-splattered road.
The body of the attacker was not yet found, but police believed his body was blown to pieces.
Police had earlier said the blast was a remote-controlled bomb.
The injured included civilians and security officials, Ahmed said.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
About a dozen Pakistan-based Islamic militants are fighting Indian security forces in the State since 1989 to carve out a separate homeland or merge the Himalayan region into Pakistan. More than 66,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
India accuses Pakistan of aiding and arming the militants at training camps on the Pakistani side of Kashmir _ a charge Islamabad denies.
Both India and Pakistan claim the divided Himalayan region in its entirety and have fought two wars over it.
