SRINAGAR, India, April 28 (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants threw a grenade at a crowded bus stand in Indian Kashmir on Saturday, killing a woman and wounding 25 people, police and witnesses said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred on the outskirts of Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar. "We were waiting for the bus. Suddenly there was a loud explosion. I saw my husband and son bleeding," Khateeja Bano told reporters at a Srinagar hospital. "Everyone was screaming and crying for help." The wounded included four children, police said. Officials say violence in Kashmir has declined since India and Pakistan launched a cautious peace process in 2004 over the disputed Himalyan region But people are still being killed in daily shootouts and occasional grenade and bomb attacks in the region. Earlier on Saturday, Indian troops shot dead three suspected militants in a gunbattle in south Kashmir, police said.
