February 1, 2010: Violence erupted on Monday in the fragile Indian-controlled region of Kashmir. A 14-year-old Kashmiri Muslim, Wamiq Farooq, was killed the evening before. He was struck by a tear gas shell fired by Indian police. Thousands of Kashmiri citizens reportedly gathered at Farooq’s funeral, which turned into a large clash with police forces. Protests broke out across Srinagar, the main Kashmir city.
