22 Die in Kashmir as Protests Intensify
---------------------------------------



At least twenty-two people have died in Kashmir in recent days,
including seven on Monday, when Indian troops fired live ammunition and
tear gas into crowds of protesters. Tens of thousands of people
demonstrated across Indian-controlled Kashmir on Monday as Kashmir’s top
elected official, Omar Abdullah, traveled to New Delhi to meet with
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
