On Tuesday four security personnel were injured in four attacks carried out by separatists in the Indian provinces of Jammu and Kashmir; the attackers targeted state police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) hurling grenades and shooting from vehicles in four separate attacks; in the city of Lal Chowk, Surinder Singh, the head constable, was injured along with two others; the attacks appeared to be coordinated, but so far no group has claimed responsibility; the attacks come ahead of the Indian government’s plan to lift the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from certain parts of Jammu and Kashmir; the act gives security forces broad powers to deal with terrorists in restive areas
