Rebels 'gun down 22' in Kashmir From Mukhtar Ahmad For CNN Monday, May 1, 2006; Posted: 5:53 a.m. EDT (09:53 GMT) SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir (CNN) -- Suspected Islamic militants gunned down Hindu villagers in southern Kashmir, killing at least 22 and critically wounding eight others, a police official said. The villagers were herded out of their homes early Sunday morning, where the gunmen started firing indiscriminately at them, S.P. Vaid, inspector-general of police in Jammu, said. Among those gunned down was a nine-year-old girl, according to the Press Trust of India. The massacre took place in the remote village of Kulhand, about 15 miles (25 kilometers) from Doda in southern Jammu and Kashmir. Nearly 12 insurgent groups have been fighting for Kashmir's independence, according to The Associated Press. An anti-insurgency army unit has been deployed and is combing the area for the attackers, Vaid said. It was the second attack targeting Hindus in the predominantly Muslim region over a matter of days. On Saturday, eight Hindus were abducted in the neighboring district of Udhampur. Four of their bodies had been found, Vaid said, while the others remained missing. The attacks come days before Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is set to meet Kashmiri separatist leaders in New Delhi in an effort to find a solution to the decades-old Kashmir dispute. India and Pakistan have fought three wars, two of them over the disputed region of Kashmir, but they have been holding talks since 2004 to resolve it. The two nations, which both claim Kashmir in its entirety, have been observing a cease-fire along the Line of Control dividing Kashmir between them since November 2003.

CAIR Asks Why No Muslim Groups To Speak At Darfur Rally CAIR Press Release ^ \| April 30 \| CAIR Staff cair.com Lack of Muslim speakers calls into question rally's 'true agenda' FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAIR ASKS WHY NO MUSLIM GROUPS TO SPEAK AT DARFUR RALLY Lack of Muslim speakers calls into question rally's 'true agenda' (WASHINGTON, DC, 4/30/2006) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today questioned why no representatives of major American Muslim groups are listed as speakers at the Save Darfur Coalition "Rally to Stop Genocide" this afternoon in Washington, D.C. CAIR and other American Muslim groups, including the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, are members of the coalition. But no representative from these, or any Muslim coalition member, is listed on the latest rally program. (Several Muslims will speak, but they do not represent Islamic groups that are coalition members.)
