<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Despite 2 Improvised Explosive Devices going off outside the Bakshi stadium, the chief Independence day function in the valley went on unhindered and without disruption on Monday morning.
"Two IEDs fitted with time devices had been planted in the bushes inside the Iqbal park and they exploded this morning without causing any damage," a police officer in Srinagar said.
Frontline Hizbul Mujaheedin and Al-Mansoorain militant outfits called a local newsagency over phone to claim responsibility for the explosions.
Another pre-planned IED exploded in a deserted stadium at Pattan in north Kashmir Baramulla district on Monday morning. However, no one was injured in the blast.
