New deadly Kashmir battle heightens India-Pakistan tensionsIndian troops suffered new losses Monday in a battle with Kashmir militants that left at least seven dead, officials said, just days after a major suicide bomb attack escalated tensions with neighbouring Pakistan. The confrontation piled more pressure on the Indian government, which has blamed Pakistan for last Thursday's suicide attack on a convoy that killed at least 41 paramilitaries. Several hours of shooting rocked the Pulwama district, south of Kashmir's main city of Srinagar, after officials reported that four soldiers, two militants and a civilian were killed in the latest clash.
