 SRINAGAR, India (AP) - A gunbattle erupted in the main business district of Indian Kashmir's capital Monday after Muslim militants attacked a police compound, killing two civilians and two soldiers and injuring six civilians, officials said.
The attack in Lal Chowk of Srinagar, the city's busiest commercial area, provoked heavy retaliation from security forces, forcing hundreds of people to run and take shelter inside buildings as shopkeepers shuttered their stores, witnesses said.
The gunfight went on for more than hour before subsiding, leaving scores of people trapped in buildings, shops and hotels.
