One killed and 25 injured in grenade attack
A grenade has been hurled at police patrolling a crowded bus station in Indian Kashmir killing one person and injuring at least 25 others.
No-one has claimed responsibility for the attack, the second in a bus station in the past two days.
It comes ahead of a visit to South Asia by US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
Observers say Mr Armitage is expected to encourage nuclear rivals India and Pakistan to build on their recent thaw over the disputed Himalayan region.
