| Six Lashkar gunnies no longer ticklish in Kashmir... |
| 2002-12-07 |
| Six militants believed to be of Lashkar-e-Taiba were killed in a fierce encounter with security forces in Baramulla district of north Kashmir. The incident occured just 24 hours after Lashkar-e-Toiba declared four days unilateral cease-fire in the state in order to allow the people to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr without any hassle. "Nope. Nope. Not gonna kill nobody. Nope." Police said, a party of 49- Gorkha Rifles were on a routine patrol when they saw a person moving under a suspicious manner. The troops immediately arrested him for questioning. During interrogation, ... "Ow! Get off my head! I'll talk! I'll talk!" ... he revealed that he was a local guide of militants and a group of militants were trying to enter the area. The troops immediately laid an ambush and when militants tried to pass the area, they were asked to surrender. As the ultras refused to lay down their arms "You'll never take us alive, coppers!" an encounter took place leading to the death of six militants. Police said, four of the militants were Pakistani nationals and two were locals. The identity of the militants could not be immediately ascertained. So how'd they know they were Paks? |
