Srinagar: At least two security jawans were injured as militants hurled a grenade on a BSF vehicle on Exchange Road in the heart of the city today (Apr 14, 2006), official sources said.

The BSF vehicle in which the injured jawans were travelling was also damaged in the explosion which occurred around noon, the sources said.

Several sensitive installations, including the BSNL office and state Congress headquarters, are located a stone's throw away from the site of the attack.

No militant outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.

Radical pro-Pakistan militant outfit, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, has claimed responsibility for the grenade blast outside the BSNL headquarters.

No militant outfit has so far claimed responsibility

However, no militant outfit has so far claimed responsibility for the three other explosions, the sources said.

The blasts, coming just ten days ahead of the assembly bypolls in Sangrama, Rafiabad, Pattan in Baramulla district and Bhaderwah in Doda district, sparked panic in the entire city marring Eid and Baisakhi celebrations.

Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad is seeking to enter the state assembly from Bhaderwah.

They also coincided with the visit of a delegation of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir here to take part in a conference here in the evening.

Two municipal councillors and a political worker were shot dead by the ultras last fortnight in north Kashmir immediately after the notification for the bypolls by the Election Commission.
