SRINAGAR: Thirty people were injured on Friday when protesters, angered over the execution of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, clashed with police in Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

Youth poured into the streets of Srinagar at over a dozen places after Friday prayers and clashed with police who tried to stop them from marching. They chanted, "Saddam lives in our hearts" and "down with America".

Police fired rubber bullets, teargas and used batons to disperse protesters, who retreated into narrow lanes and hurled stones at police.

"At least 30 people, including 10 policemen, were wounded in the clashes," a police spokesman said.

Several thousand Muslims in the northern town of Sopore also took to the streets after Friday prayers and chanted anti-US and pro-Islamic slogans, the spokesman said.

Most shops and businesses were also shut in Srinagar, as traders held a strike to protest last week's execution.

The strike closed down Srinagar's main business centre, Lal Chowk, and its adjoining areas.

Shops were closed in many other parts of Srinagar.

On Thursday, 10 people, including six policemen, were injured as police fired rubber bullets and teargas at protesters in Srinagar demonstrating against the execution Saturday in Baghdad.

The Indian government, which had warm ties with Saddam's regime, has said it was "disappointed" by the execution.
