                              Kashmir Lifts Curfew

   Indian authorities have lifted a week-long curfew across
   Indian-controlled Kashmir.
   Officials lifted the ban Saturday.
   Some Kashmiris found stores and businesses closed Saturday because a
   general strike was called by political and religious groups.
   The curfew was imposed last Saturday following the hanging in New Delhi
   of a Kashmiri man convicted for his role in the 2001 attack on India`s
   parliament.
   Many in Kashmir believe Afzal Guru was not given a fair trial.
   Protests broke out in Guru`s hometown, Sopore, after his execution,
   even though authorities had dispatched thousands of security forces
   across the Kashmir Valley to clamp down on possible demonstrations.
