Grenade attack near Kashmir assembly

Twelve people, including nine policemen, have been injured in a grenade attack near the state assembly in Indian-administered Kashmir, the authorities there say.

The attack took place when suspected Kashmiri militants threw a grenade near the main gate of the assembly, in the city of Srinagar.

And in a separate incident, a further eight people were injured in a grenade attack in another part of the city.

Last October nearly 40 people were killed when extremists attacked the Srinagar assembly.

India says that attack was carried out by the Jaish-e Mohammad group.

Jaish-e Mohammad is one of two groups India also blames for last month's attack on the federal parliament in Delhi which has led to the current military build-up between India and Pakistan.
