By Fayaz Bukhari SRINAGAR, India (Reuters) - Militants stormed a police camp in Indian Kashmir on Friday, killing two policeman and wounding three, a police official said, snapping a three-month lull in attacks that India's nationalist government has sworn to end. The attack happened in Kathua district about 15 km (9 miles) from the border with Pakistan, which India has long blamed for pushing militants into its part of the disputed region. Three armed men forced their way into the police station, firing indiscriminately, a police officer said. The last big attack in Kashmir occurred in December, when militants struck at an army camp in Uri, also near the border with Pakistan but further up the Kashmir valley.
