A historic bus ride is taking place today in Kashmir. For the first time in 60 years, bus service has resumed between the Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir to the Indian-controlled part of the region. Pakistani militants opposed to Indian rule have vowed to disrupt the buses. On Wednesday in Srinagar, the capital of Indian Kashmir, four militant groups set fire to a highly fortified compound where passengers were waiting to board the bus. The passengers were evacuated safely but a gun battle broke out between police and the militants. The BBC reports two militants were shot dead and three bystanders were hurt. And earlier today, the bus came under a grenade attack but no one was injured. The new bus service is being seen as a symbol of improving relations between India and Pakistan, who both claim Kashmir in its entirety. The bus service is intended to enable Kashmiris to visit their kin living on opposite sides of the Line of Control that divides the disputed territory.
