Kashmir Korpse Kount Kontinued
2006-11-11
ISLAMABAD - Five schoolgirls were killed when a ‘toy bomb’ exploded in the grounds of their school in the Neelum Valley in Pakistan-controlled Azad Kashmir on Friday, media reports said. Aaj television channel reported that the school was situated close to the Line of Control, or ceasefire line, that divides the disputed Himalayan state of Kashmir between Pakistan and India.

Pakistani troops stationed in the area cordoned off the school after evacuating the students to search for any more such explosive devices.

Toy bombs in the shape of butterflies and other playthings and packed with enough explosive to blow off childrenÂ’s limbs were dropped by the former Soviet Union into Afghanistan during the war against US-backed mujahedin (Islamic warriors) in the 1980s.

#2  in the grounds of their school in the Neelum Valley in Pakistan-controlled Azad Kashmir on Friday

Several questions:
1. How did a 25 year old "toy bomb" get all the w to Pakistani Kashmir without exploding during the long journey across space and time?

2. Why were the girls at school on the Muslim sabbath?

3. Why would such a thing be set to trap Pakistani students instead of Indian Kashmiris or Afghans?

I've seen some of these. There's one that's shaped like a toy truck, another that looks like a crown, and several that look like animals. Most have a contact trigger. There's not enough explosives to seriously injure a grown man, but enough to cripple a child. In my mind, there is nothing more cruel or heartless than deliberately targeting and killing children. It seems the islamofascists learned well from the soviets (Belsan). Unfortunately for them, we're not the Russians. What worked against them doesn't work against us. They've tried to adapt, but the constantly increasing death toll of islamofascists indicate that learnin b hard for islamonuts.
