Suspected separatist rebels lobbed a grenade at a security patrol in the heart of Indian Kashmir's main city on Saturday, wounding four paramilitary soldiers, police and witnesses said. The attack, the first after many months of calm in Srinagar, Kashmir's summer capital, came a day after two Pakistani soldiers were killed in the first ever suicide bombing in a part of Kashmir held by Pakistan. No group has claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack. Meanwhile, authorities in Indian Kashmir Saturday said “exemplary punishment” will be meted out to the people involved in the alleged rape and murder of two young Muslim women. The announcement came a day after scores of people were hurt in clashes with police during fresh anti-India demonstrations sparked by outrage at the women's deaths. “The government is committed to uphold truth and deliver justice in a fair and transparent manner, without sparing any police or civil official who is found guilty, involved or negligent,” an official statement said. “Exemplary punishment will be given to the persons involved in the matter,” it said.
