The explosive may have&nbsp; been tied to a bicycle parked at the back entrance of the mosque, said&nbsp; Kashmir’s inspector general of police, S.M. Sahai. One other person was&nbsp; injured in the attack. No-one claimed immediate responsibility for the&nbsp; blast.
Mr. Shah was head of the Jamiat-e-Ahli-Hadith religious&nbsp; organization and a moderate Kashmiri separatist who favored negotiations&nbsp; with India over violence. He had previously cited the Quran to oppose&nbsp; the throwing of stones against Indian security forces by separatist&nbsp; protesters.
