New Hizb chief appointed, vows to step up attacks |
2003-04-03 |
Ghazi Naseeruddin has been appointed as the new commander-in-chief of militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen after his predecessor Saiful Islam was gunned down by security forces on Wednesday. Ghazi was appointed by the command council in an emergency meeting at Muzaffarabad (PoK) on Wednesday night. Soon after his appointment, Naseeruddin vowed to intensify attacks on the "enemy and its agents". Oh, wotta surprise! Who ever expected him to say that? He said the killing of Saiful has infused a new lease of life into "our resolve and determination, and his killing should not be considered as a weakness for our outfit... Laying lives in the path of azadi is an inseparable part of our movement. We have chosen this path with full conscience and the enemy should understand that we will reach our goal only after offering such sacrifices." "Yar! Kill the heathen Hindoo! Cut their heads off! Death! Decapitation! Blood! Gutz! Yarrrr!" While calling for a general strike in the Valley on Friday to mourn the death of Saiful, the new chief said: "Our chief commander's sacrifice will give birth to hundreds of other commanders, who will strive for the mission left behind by him." Saiful Islam was the fourth commander of the group to have been killed by security forces. Wonder who's next? How many ticks left on Ghazi's clock? Meanwhile, separatist elements and politicians widely mourned the killing of Saiful. The I can feel the sympathy just welling up inside me... Uh, no. That's not it. Whoa! That's some powerful chili! |

#1 Soon after his appointment, Naseeruddin vowed to intensify attacks on the "enemy and its agents". That cut's two ways, bub. Ask your old boss or, rather, have Allah ask him. |
