More jihad violence in Kashmir reported by [1] Fox News:

SRINAGAR, India — A series of grenade attacks by suspected separatist rebels shook Kashmir's capital on Friday, killing five people and wounding at least 18, police said.

All those killed were civilians — three women and two men who died of their injuries at the main hospital in Srinagar, said Mushtaq Ahmad, a police officer at the hospital...

A local news agency, Current News Service, reported that four Islamic rebel groups separately claimed responsibility for the attacks. The groups include Jamiat-ul-Mujahedeen, Al-Mansurain, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Islamic Front.

Various Islamic militant groups have been fighting Indian security forces in the insurgency-hit state of Jammu-Kashmir since 1989 to create a separate homeland or merge the Himalayan region into Pakistan.
