Riots erupt in Kashmir as thousands mourn shooting deaths

Riots erupted across Indian-controlled Kashmir today as Muslims mourned 15 people killed when Indian security forces fired into crowds of demonstrators yesterday.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Bone-headed domestic policy, coupled with out of control police, can only end badly, as it has in this turn of events.

Unfortunately, this entire area of the world is behaving like a covered cauldron, just waiting to explode.
