RIOT OVER RAPE

Police in Kashmir fired tear gas and used batons yesterday to disperse thousands of people protesting the alleged rape of a woman and her 10 year old daughter Sunday by soldiers.  They marched through the streets of Srinagar, India, shouting slogans and shaking their fists.  The alleged rape occurred during a search for militants in a remote village.  The army major alleged to have committed the crime has been removed by authorities.  The state government has ordered an investigation.
