An Indian tourist was killed during a stone-throwing protest in held Kashmir, officials said Tuesday, as the region shut down for a third day over the killings of civilians and freedom fighters during weekend gunbattles and anti-India protests. Meanwhile, a teenage boy who had been shot by Indian troops on Sunday died in a hospital, triggering protests and clashes in his occupied southern Kashmir village.
The tourist, from India's Tamil Nadu state, was critically injured overnight when a stone thrown toward his taxi broke the window and hit his head as he and his parents were on their way back from a resort near western Narbal village, local police official Nazir Ahmed said.
