Five soldiers were killed and seven others wounded Monday in what appeared to be a rebel attack on an army convoy in Indian-controlled Kashmir on the eve of a visit by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The police detained scores of separatist activists, frisked residents and searched cars as part of security measures. An army officer said gunmen had fired at an army convoy on a highway on the outskirts of Srinagar late Monday, killing the five soldiers and critically wounding the others. Kashmir, divided between India and Pakistan, has long demanded either independence from India or a merger with neighboring Pakistan.
