Srinagar, October 4: Three policemen were killed and eight wounded when terrorists attacked a security camp in the heart of Srinagar, police and witnesses said.
Four civilians were also hurt in the attack which began at around 11.30 am (0600 GMT) in the heavily congested market area of Lal Chowk, and was continuing nearly seven hours later.
"Two injured policemen are in a serious condition," senior police officer Farooq Ahmad said.
The attack began when a small group of terrorists threw a grenade near a security camp and then entered a hotel building opposite the camp and began firing at it.
The market street emptied within minutes as people panicked. Dozens of security personnel rushed to the spot and returned fire, a news reporter at the scene said.
