30 Injured in Grenade Atrocity

From The Australian :

Suspected Islamic militants hurled a grenade at a busy bus station in Indian-controlled Kashmir on today, injuring at least 30 people, police said.

The militants apparently were targeting a paramilitary police post, but it missed and exploded near the bus station where scores of people were waiting to board buses, an official said.

"At least 30 people were injured in the grenade attack in the Batmalloo suburb of Srinagar," said Tirath Acharya, spokesman of the paramilitary Border Security Force.

Srinagar is the summer capital of the northern Indian state of Jammu-Kashmir, which both India and Pakistan claim in its entirety.
