SRINAGAR: Curfew was clamped on the communally sensitive Leh district of Ladakh after miscreants tried to disrupt the Muharram procession on Thursday. Army had to be called in to help the district administration maintain peace...

As of an hour or two back, I've heard that the strife has spread to Srinagar and Kargil too. News flashes on TV show slogans being raised against the Ladakh Adminstration.

what i had read was that there is mounting tension over the apparent issue of buddhists tearing pages from the koran. hmmm...when i read the article, i just had a difficult time believing it.
