Thirty-four killed in Kashmir bomb attack

    At least 34 paramilitary soldiers have been killed following an attack on a military convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir.

    Police say a car filled with explosives rammed a bus carrying the troops to the main city of Srinagar.

    The Pakistan-based Islamist group Jaish-e Mohammad said it carried out a suicide bombing. It is the deadliest attack on Indian forces in disputed Kashmir for years.

    Officials said the death toll may rise as many others are in a critical condition.
