Hizb chief warns of suicide attacks
Hizbul Mujahedin supreme commander Syed Salahuddin on Tuesday warned of âlarge-scaleâ suicide attacks if the international community does not step in to resolve the long-running row over the territory. He called for the United States to mediate a solution to Kashmir.No thanks, we have enough problems right now. "If the international community, particularly the US, does not take steps to rescue us from Indiaâs state terrorism and there is no let-up in killing of children, molestation of women, looting and arson of properties, the Hizbul Mujahedin will be compelled to shortly launch fidayeen (suicide) attacks at large scale," Salahuddin said. Dire Revenge(tm) The Hizbul leader also supported the use of suicide attacks in Kashmir, terming them "legitimate under the mujahedinâs code of conduct." Thereâs a Code Of Conduct for suicide boomers? Salahuddin said the attackers were mujahedin (holy warriors), but were not from his group. "Ainât my guys, they belong to that group over there!" "What is the alternative for the Kashmiris, when the US does not help them, the international community is silent on their systematic massacre and Pakistan is being stopped to extend any aid to them? It was purely a military target. The Indian Army is killing the Kashmiris and when we kill them, it is dubbed as terrorism. This is unfortunate and unfair," he added. "Yeah, why canât we kill women and children without being called names. Itâs unfair!" Salahuddin said his group had never been involved in civilian or communal killings, "but the military personnel and installations are our target." "And if somebody else gets in the way, itâs Godâs will that we kill them too!" Posted by: Steve 2003-07-15 |
