SRINAGAR, India, July 29 (Reuters) - Two people were killed and over a dozen wounded on Sunday in an explosion inside a tourist bus in Kashmir's main city, police and witnesses said.

Police said they were not sure if it was a grenade attack by militants or if a faulty air-conditioner had exploded inside the bus. Most of those wounded were Indian tourists.

"A powerful explosion took place inside the bus. We are ascertaining the details," a police official said.

No militant group has claimed responsibility for the explosion near Shalimar Garden, a popular tourist spot in Srinagar, the summer capital of the troubled Himalayan region.

At least a dozen Indian tourists were killed and scores wounded in attacks on their vehicles by suspected separatist militants last year.
