23 killed in fighting in Indian Kashmir

Twenty-three people were killed at the weekend in Indian Kashmir, in the bloodiest day of fighting since the killing of a top rebel commander a fortnight ago.

The dead included four soldiers, among them an officer, and an Islamic militant who were killed on Saturday in a suicide attack on an Army camp in north Kashmir.

The camp is close to the disputed Line of Control - the de facto border which divides Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani administered regions.
