Militants killed five Indian officers at a police training camp in Indian-controlled Kashmir province on Wednesday, police said.

It was the first attack in the city of Srinagar in at least three years, CNN's sister network IBN reported.

It comes a month after the execution in India of a militant from Kashmir, who led an attack on the nation's parliament in 2001, killing nine people.

Since Mohammed Afzal Guru was executed, his supporters in Srinagar have demanded the return of his body, protesting with civil disobedience.

Authorities in India have accused Pakistan of backing Guru's attack, which led to massive mobilization of troops by the two nuclear neighbors along their tense borders. Pakistan denied involvement.

India's home secretary R.K. Singh said Wednesday he believed Srinagar attackers came from Pakistan. They "appeared ... to be not local, but from across the border," he said in New Delhi.

Three civilians and five police officers were injured in the attack, Singh said.

But Pakistan's Foreign Office dismissed India's charge.

"Pakistan strongly rejects any allegations made about its involvement in the incident in Kashmir on Wednesday," spokesman Moazzam Ahmed Khan said.

Kashmir has been disputed territory between India and Pakistan since the two countries separated in 1947 after a costly war.

Militants supporting Pakistan have been fighting for more than 20 years against Indian rule in the parts controlled by that country, which has a mostly Muslim population.

The insurgency has killed more than 43,000, but some human rights groups and nongovernmental organizations put the death toll at twice that.

The two attackers in the Wednesday incident were both killed, said Omar Abdullah, the chief minister of the Indian-administered Kashmir.
