More tourist jihad. “30 injured as militants attack tourist buses in Kashmir,” from Deutsche Presse Agentur, with thanks to LGF:
Srinagar – At least 30 people were injured when suspected Muslim militants hurled powerful grenades at two tourist buses in Srinagar, capital of India’s Jammu and Kashmir state Wednesday, police said.
The buses, carrying tourists from eastern West Bengal state, were attacked within five minutes of each other Wednesday evening in the busy Dal Gate area of Srinagar.
Two tourists were killed according to NDTV news channel. The police, however, did not confirm any deaths. One person was critically injured, a senior police official said….
This is the third major attack on tourists by rebels in the past 10 days.
The economy of the scenic Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir is heavily dependent on the tourism industry, which has been badly hit by two decades of a violent, secessionist militant movement [that is, an Islamic jihad — RS].
