2006-12-11 |
(Xinhua) -- Militants attacked a crowded passenger train Sunday afternoon in central Indian state Jharkhand, said the local police. A group of militants hijacked the passenger train with about 1,000 people on board when the train, from Jamshedpur in Singhboohm district of Jharkhand, was traveling in the dense forest near the border with neighboring state West Bengal, Shailendra Warnwal, deputy superintendent of Police of Singhboohm, told Xinhua. The militants looted four rifles from the policemen on the train and left and all passengers were safe, he said. Eyewitnesses said the militants stayed on the train for more than half an hour. This is the third incident of train hijacking in the last few months in the region. |

#6 An armed citizenry is the cure to brazen banditry. If you know you won't be facing any guns, it's easy to rob others. If you knew the minute you stepped on board that train that as many as one-third of the passengers were packing heat, you'd be far less likely to play bad man. |

#1 The only time my two boys dress up reasonably decently is just before we go to Church on Sundays. It is on those days that my wife decides to take photos. The "gentleman" in the photo displays the same attitude that they do when getting their photos taken. |
