Six injured in grenade attack in IHK
The terrorist ideal is that every time somebody opens his mouth to give a speech there's a grenade tossed.[Pak Daily Times] Suspected rebels hurled a grenade at a paramilitary vehicle on Tuesday in the Indian-held Kashmire (IHK), injuring two troops and four civilians and sending bystanders fleeing in panic, police said. The attackers lobbed the grenade at the vehicle in Pulwama town, south of Srinagar, when IHK Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was addressing a group of coppers nearby. The grenade injured three civilian men and a woman and two paramilitary personnel, Police Superintendent Abdul Razak said. "People ran for safety when they heard the blast," local resident Ayaz Ahmad Bhat said. Security forces searched the area, looking for the terrorists. So far, five people have been killed and 46 injured in grenade attacks this year, including the latest attack, down from 18 deaths and 99 people injured in 2009. But popular pro-independence protests since June have left more than 110 protesters and bystanders, many of them teenagers and young boys, dead. Posted by: Fred 2010-12-15 |
