Group of soldiers walking away from blast site after search operation STORYLINE: A remote-controlled bomb planted on a roadside in Kashmir blew up an army patrol car in a pre-dawn attack on Sunday, killing an army major and 10 other men, police said. At the site of the blast in Wachi village, Pulwama district, the explosion hurled the vehicle into the air and left a three-metre (10-foot)-wide crater in the road. The car, a private sports utility vehicle being used by the army, was on a night patrol when the explosion occurred, police said. The occupants of the vehicle included the major, eight army soldiers, a police officer and the driver. Wachi village is 65 kilometres (40 miles) south of Srinagar, the summer capital of India's Jammu-Kashmir state. A man claiming to be a spokesman for the Hezb-ul Mujahedeen militant group claimed responsibility for the blast in a call to a local news agency, the Central News Service. Hezb is the largest among the militant groups that have been fighting Indian security forces since 1989 to carve out a separate homeland or merge Kashmir with India's neighbour, Pakistan. The 14-year insurgency in India's only Muslim-majority state has claimed more than 66,000 lives. India blames Pakistan for training, arming and funding the militants, most of whom are based in Pakistani territory, but Islamabad denies giving patronage to the rebels, and says it's cracking down on them.
