Indian Kashmir attack by militants disguised as cricketers kills five

India
and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir over which both claim
sovereignty.

Relations between the two countries deteriorated in January after New Delhi
accused Pakistani troops of killing two of its soldiers, one of whom was
beheaded, in a raid across the Kashmir Line of Control, the de facto
frontier between the two states.

Mr Singh raised tensions further yesterday when he claimed the two terrorists
shot dead in the attack were Pakistanis.

"Prima facie, the terrorists appear to be from across the border and were
Pakistani nationals," he said.

A man claiming to represent the Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen group said it
was responsible. A spokesman for the group, Baleeg-ud-Din called the news
agency Kashmir News Network and threatened further attacks.

"It was a guerilla attack and Hizb militants will carry on these attacks in
the future," he said.

Police described the attack as the first serious terrorist raid on the city in
three years, although one person was killed in an attack on a hotel last
October, while five months earlier seven paramilitary troops were injured in
a drive-by shooting.
