Four killed in violent start to Ramazan in Kashmir

2007-09-15

Indian troops killed four Islamic militants in revolt-hit Kashmir, police said on Friday, in a violent start to Ramazan. The militants were killed in southern Kishtiwar district around dawn on Friday, a police spokesman in the Kashmir summer capital of Srinagar said. The four were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, he said, referring to a hardline Muslim militant group blamed by authorities for deadly attacks in Kashmir.

Police said Indian troops and militants were engaged in fighting at two other places in Kashmir. Police also recovered four hand grenades from beneath a pile of bricks in Srinagar close to a shrine expected to be visited by thousands of Muslims later in the day.

#13 Interesting just how big the Nimitz is compared to Varaat, and Varaat is not a small ship.
What's really scary is that there are cargo ships larger than the Nimitz - mostly built by the Japanese and the Koreans. I doubt it would take much for the Japanese to build equally large aircraft carriers and crew them. I hope in the end we either sell them the FULL plans for the "Kitty Hawk" class, or sell them the Sh$$$y Kitty for them to use as a model/training ship.
