Bloody Monday leaves 16 dead across Kashmir - ET, 13 September 2010.
Excerpt from the ET article:
SRINAGAR - Sixteen people were killed on Monday as furious mobs clashed with security forces and attacked government property across the Kashmir Valley in protests that were initially triggered by a report that copies of the Quran were desecrated in the US.

While six people were killed in the resort town of Tangmarg, where a Christian missionary school was torched, seven died in Badgam, including a seven-year-old, one in Pampore and one in Bandipora.
