India security forces kill six Kashmir protesters
At least six people have been killed as security forces opened fire on protesters in Indian-administered Kashmir, officials say.
It is unclear what sparked the protest. Some reports suggest it came after troops entered a local mosque.
Angry crowds then gathered outside the Border Security Force (BSF) camp in Ramban district in Jammu.
...
"The BSF soldiers fired indiscriminately, downing protesters left, right and centre," one witness who did not want to be identified told the Agence France-Presse news agency by phone.
