JAMMU, India (AP) - Suspected Islamic militants hurled a grenade at a Hindu political rally in the Indian-controlled portion of disputed Kashmir on Saturday, killing two people and wounding at least 35, police and doctors said.
The explosion in the town of Doda targeted a political rally organized by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party to protest the killings of 35 Hindus in attacks earlier this month, said Mustaq Ahmed, a local police officer.
One man died at the scene and another succumbed to injuries on his way to a hospital, Ahmed said. At least 35 people were wounded, he said. Four were in serious condition, said Basir Ahmed, the medical superintendent at the hospital treating them.
