>>Kashmir Shrine Attack Kills 4, Wounds at Least 50

SRINAGAR (Reuters) - Four Muslim women worshippers were killed and more than 50 other people wounded on Friday
when unidentified militants hurled a grenade at one of the holiest shrines in India's revolt-racked Jammu and Kashmir state.

Most of the injured were women and many of them were in critical condition, police said.

``Militants hurled a grenade at the premises of Chrar-e-Sharief shrine where large number of devotees had assembled for
offering Friday congregational prayers,'' a police statement said. ``About 50 devotees sustained injuries and four women
succumbed to their injuries,'' it said.

Chrar-e-Sharief, one of Kashmir's holiest shrines, lies in Badgam district, 17 miles west of Srinagar. Thousands of Muslims
attended special prayers on Friday following Id-E-Milad, the anniversary of Prophet Mohammad's birth at holy shrines and
mosques across the restive region.

The Id-E-Milad was celebrated in Kashmir, India's only Muslim-majority state, on Tuesday.

No militant group has claimed responsibility for the grenade attack.<<
