| Kashmir jihadi attacks kill 12 |
| 2002-06-16 |
| Islamic militants hurled grenades and opened fire on police, sleeping villagers and Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir, killing 12 people in the first such assaults in three weeks, Indian officials said Sunday. The attacks, which began Saturday afternoon, came as tensions along the border in Kashmir that divides India and Pakistan had appeared to ease. They're determined not to let peace happen. They'll turn themselves inside out to bring the two countires to war... On Sunday morning, a plainclothes police officer was killed in Srinagar, the state's summer capital, in an ambush. On Saturday night, militants stormed the remote mountainous village of Badar, killing five Hindus as they slept in their homes, police said. Badar is about 93 miles north of Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu-Kashmir state. Three children aged between 8 and 14 years were also reported wounded. Normal ethnic cleansing. So there were a few dead kiddies, what the hell? They were only Heathen Hindoos, or Sikhs or something. They don't feel pain like Muslims do... Also Saturday, suspected Islamic guerrillas lobbed grenades and fired at about 500 Hindu pilgrims trudging down a mountaintop shrine elsewhere in Jammu-Kashmir, killing three Hindu children and three of their Muslim escorts. Seven pilgrims were wounded. Just heathens. Good Muslims kill them like flies. And since they were pilgrims, they weren't armed. That made it even better... Government offices in Islamabad were closed Sunday, but Pakistani officials have said they have halted cross-border incursions and that they cannot be held responsible for every attack that happens in Indian territory. That's Urdu for "Tough nails. Bother me with something important." |
