Militants who killed 26 people in India's Kashmir region separated the men from the women and children and asked the men their names before shooting them at close range, security officials and survivors said on Wednesday. About 1,000 tourists and 300 local service providers were in the Baisaran Valley - known as mini Switzerland for its lush hilltop meadow, surrounded by dense pine forests - when three gunmen launched the Tuesday attack, the worst in India in nearly two decades. The heavily-armed attackers roamed around the grasslands and fired 60 rounds of ammunition, but did not shoot women and children, a security official, who did not want to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media, said.
