September 11, 2010 STRATFOR SITREP
Tens of thousands of Muslims marched through Indian Kashmir’s main city on Sept. 11, setting fire to government and police buildings in the latest of the largest protests in two years against Indian rule, Reuters reported. Police fired tear gas and live ammunition into the air to disperse crowds in Srinagar, the location of the main demonstration led by senior separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. Police said Farooq incited the situation by taking advantage of an Eid celebration taking place in Srinagar.
