Kashmir: 3 Killed as Indian Security Forces Open Fire on Protesters
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Indian soldiers fired on demonstrators in Kashmir on Tuesday, killing
three people, amid ongoing protests in the disputed territory. The
protests began nearly two weeks ago after Indian security forces shot
dead Kashmiri independence activist Burhan Muzaffar Wani. India has
imposed a curfew, banned some newspapers from printing, and blocked
mobile phone service in Kashmir amid the ongoing protests. At least 42
people have now been killed since the protests began.
