 Omar Abdullah, the head of Kashmir’s main opposition party, escaped injury on Monday after suspected separatist militants hurled a grenade at him while he was entering a colleague’s house, a party official said. The grenade exploded outside the house of an activist of Abdullah’s pro-India National Conference party, wounding four policemen and a civilian, said party spokesman Nasir Sogami. “Omar Abdullah is safe,” he said. Abdullah is the grandson of the state’s first prime minister and son of a former chief minister. |
