| Kashmir raid kills 30 |
| 2002-05-14 |
| Suspected Islamic militants opened fire on an army camp in Indian Kashmir, killing at least 30 people and wounding 40, marring a new effort to ease the tension between nuclear foes India and Pakistan. Ummm... That's why they dunnit... The raid at Kaluchak, in Jammu and Kashmir, is one of the most deadly attacks in the long-running Kashmir conflict and the worst violence in the region in over six months. A previously unknown rebel group -- al-Mansoorain -- claimed responsibility for the attack, although it is not known how credible the claim is. Hindustan Times sez it's an alias for Lashkar-e-Taiba... Local news agency NAFA told CNN's New Delhi Bureau chief Satinder Bindra that the claim was phoned in to their office. The Kaluchak attack began when the suspected militants fired on Indian security forces from a bus. In the crossfire, seven people on board the bus were killed. They opened fire on a military installation from a bus full of civilians, including women and children. How very heroic of them. In a strictly Islamic way, of course. |
