| Kashmir thugs try to assassiante Farooq Abdullah |
| 2002-06-15 |
| Suspected Islamic guerrillas fired two grenades in an attack on the top elected official in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Saturday. No one was hurt. The grenades were fired at a board of education office building as Farooq Abdullah, the chief minister of Jammu-Kashmir state, was inaugurating it in Bemina, a suburb of Srinagar. One grenade exploded in midair and the other landed in a nearby pond. Thank God they used grenades, otherwise somebody could have been hurt... The attack comes as India and Pakistan are on war footing over a series of terrorist attacks by Islamic fighters trying to wrest the state from Indian control. Pakistan has vowed to crack down on the militants, but small attacks have continued. And the jihadis are going to continue trying to prod the two sides into war, hoping to pick up any pieces left... A previously unknown group called al-Medina claimed responsibility for the attack, Press Trust of India reported. The Latest Thing seems to be for the Bad Guys to wear false moustaches and glasses and attack under an assumed name... Abdullah's attendance at the event had been kept secret for security fears. Which means the Bad Guys have in informer in his entourage. Mahmud the Weasel should be sleeping with the fishes any time now... |
