Kashmir under curfew after deaths

SRINAGAR, July 31, (AFP) - Thousands of security forces enforced a curfew in the major towns of Indian-administered Kashmir today, a day after three protesters were shot dead.

The three were killed on Friday in two separate incidents when security forces opened fire to contain angry anti-India demonstrations in northern towns of Sopore and Patan.

“Curfew is in force in Srinagar and other major towns of Kashmir Valley,” a police spokesman said, referring to Indian Kashmir's summer capital.
