Protests Rock Kashmir After Death of Independence Leader
--------------------------------------------------------

In news from Kashmir, a curfew continues for a 10th day amid massive
protests and the worst violence in the disputed territory in more than
five years. Human rights groups say at least 40 people have died in the
ongoing clashes. Protests began 10 days ago after Indian security forces
shot dead Kashmiri independence activist Burhan Muzaffar Wani. India has
shut down printing presses and imposed a ban on some newspapers in
Kashmir from printing amid the ongoing protests.
