Terrorists blast bridge on proposed Indo-Pak bus route
A key bridge on a highway on which the proposed India-Pakistan Kashmir bus will ply was damaged Tuesday in an explosion blamed on separatist guerrillas.
Authorities said an improved explosive device went off in the morning at the Hanjiwara bridge, 23 km from here, in the north Jammu and Kashmir district of Baramulla, injuring three civilians including a woman.
It was not immediately clear how the blast was carried out since police were guarding the bridge ahead of the launch of Thursday's Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service.
It is one of the many bridges that dot the highway between Srinagar, the state's summer capital, and Uri, from where the bus will proceed to the Line of Control (LoC) dividing the Indian and Pakistani Kashmir.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will inaugurate the Kashmir bus service on Thursday. Separatist guerrillas have threatened to kill those who will take the bus.
