Thousands of protesters marched in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir today to denounce recent deadly clashes with Indian security forces, with some calling for war over the disputed frontier.
About 4,000 people gathered in Muzaffarabad, some carrying photos of slain rebel leader Burhan Wani, whose killing last week sparked unrest that killed 32 people -- the deadliest clashes in Kashmir since 2010 when massive demonstrations were held against Indian rule.
Students, lawyers, traders, political activists and members of militant groups gathered at today's protest, where the local head of hardline militant group, Jamat-ud-Dawa, issued a call to arms.
