There is a “need to keep an eye on the situation”, an official source told IANS referring to the impact that news of bin Laden’s killing by US led forces in Pakistan Sunday would have in Kashmir, which has been a hotbed of militancy since 1989.

“Much will depend on what happens in Pakistan,” a senior police official told IANS.
“We will have to watch the situation and reaction in Pakistan.”

There has been no immediate reaction from any major political leader so far.
