Kashmir: Tens of Thousands Protest Killing of Civilians by Indian Soldiers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kashmir, tens of thousands of people poured into the streets to
protest Indian rule over the disputed territory Monday, after Indian
soldiers shot and killed four civilians and two alleged militants at a
military checkpoint overnight Sunday. Following the shooting, Indian
authorities tried unsuccessfully to suppress protests by putting the
region on lockdown, closing schools, cutting off internet access and
deploying soldiers and riot police throughout the region.
