Senior Indian cabinet members have held an emergency meeting after 24 Hindus were shot dead in Indian-administered Kashmir. Police said unidentified gunmen shot members of the state's minority Hindu community - many of them women and children - near the southern town of Shopian. It is the worst such attack since a new government was elected in Indian-administered Kashmir last September. Many people had hoped the vote, which was largely peaceful, would ease tensions in the region over the disputed state. Pakistan has condemned the attack, calling it "a blatant act of terrorism".
