Six hurt in grenade blast in Kashmir

SRINAGAR: Four policemen and two civilians were injured Friday in Indian administered Kashmir in a grenade attack by suspected militants, minutes after protesters and police clashed.
The grenade was hurled at a group of local police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in downtown Srinagar shortly after they had chased away a group of anti-India protesters.

“Three CRPF men and a local policeman were injured in the attack,” CRPF spokesman Prabhakar Tripathi told reporters, adding two civilians were also hurt.

Witnesses said the attack took place after protesters chanting “we want freedom” and “Allah is great” clashed with police.
