Ten killed in Kashmir clashes

Eight Muslim fighters and two soldiers were killed in clashes over the past 24 hours in disputed Kashmir.

Separatist violence has not abated in the Himalayan region despite peace efforts by India and Pakistan who have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir since 1947.

A police spokesman told Reuters army soldiers shot dead two insurgents on Saturday in a fierce battle in Anantnag district south of Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.

Elsewhere, six insurgents and two security force personnel were killed in separate gunbattles across the region since Friday evening, police said.

1. all this "peace" talk

..is just a distraction.

There have been countless such gestures in the past. A fourth (or fifth if you count Kargil in 1999) war between India and Pakistan is inevitable.
