Kashmir rebels blamed for tourist attacks
SRINAGAR, India (AFP) - Islamic militants are to blame for two attacks targeting tourists in Indian Kashmir this week that left nine dead including four young people, police said
Two brothers, aged 12 and 14, from India's Bihar state were killed and six others wounded in a grenade attack on Monday by suspected militants on a tourist vehicle in southern Pulwama district, a police statement said.
On Sunday, seven people including five tourists, two of them young girls, were killed and 19 wounded in a blast aboard a coach in Indian Kashmir's main city of Srinagar, in another attack police blamed on militants.
"After forensic and chemical investigation of the samples collected at the blast site, the preliminary inferences suggest that the blast has been caused by a grenade," police said on Wednesday.
"Such types of grenades have been recovered from the militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba outfit recently," it said.
Lashkar-e-Toiba is the most feared militant group fighting to bring Indian Kashmir under Pakistani rule. Both New Delhi and Islamabad control part of the scenic Himalayan region.
The group however has condemned the attack and denied any involvement.
An insurgency by Islamic militants against New Delhi's rule in Indian Kashmir has claimed more than 42,000 lives since it was launched in 1989.

Those Moslems who cause so much death and destruction are Satanist. We see how proudly they behead people. Revelation 20:4 reveals Christians being beheaded in the days of anti-Christ which are almost upon us!
