Indian security forces hunt militants after 26 tourists killed in Kashmir attack

Incident apparently involving four gunmen is worst attack on civilians in India since Mumbai shootings in 2008

Indian security forces fanned out across the Himalayan region of Kashmir as the army and police launched a massive manhunt for the perpetrators of a militant attack on Tuesday that killed at least 26 tourists.

Tens of thousands of armed police and troops headed to the region, setting up checkpoints and searching vehicles, while many businesses remained closed after a call by religious and political figures.
