India kills Pak soldier at LoC
2013-07-28
ISLAMABAD: Indian firing killed a Pakistani soldier and wounded another on Saturday in Kashmir, the army said.
Oops. Our bad.
The Indian troops staged an “unprovoked” attack across the Line of Control (LOC). “A soldier embraced martyrdom while another was seriously injured due to unprovoked firing by Indian troops in Rawalakot area at the Line of Control (LoC),” the Pakistan Army said in a statement.

A Foreign Office spokesman in a statement said it was unfortunate that such an incident took place at a time when the two governments were making sincere efforts towards improving relations for resolution of all outstanding disputes.

“Pakistan calls upon the government of India to carry out a thorough investigation into this grave incident and to ensure that such occurrences do not take place,” the spokesman said in the statement.

On the other hand, the Indian army claimed it had fired in a “calibrated manner” in response to Pakistani firing. “Pakistani troops started firing unprovoked in the morning, firing rocket-propelled grenades, heavy machinegun fire and small arms,” Indian defence spokesman Colonel RK Palta told AFP.

“Our side retaliated in a calibrated manner and there were no casualties on our side,” he said, adding he had no comment on Islamabad’s statement that Indian firing had caused Pakistani casualties.

#4  The average Pak soldier is a piss stain. They killed 3million dirty kuffir Hindu civilians in Bangladesh in just 8 months. Hard heavy moslem work against unarmed villagers. And then when the Indian Army went in to stop it the Paks fought ONE DAY and ran tongue out and eyeballs rolling for another week before they collapsed without really standing anywhere for more than a couple of hours. They surrendered the whole country in less than two weeks and then told everyone what heroes they were.

Piss-stain wimps, Baghdad Bob had it right.

#2   Is it militant-migration time again?

Must be, Pappy. According to Dawn, reported without a trace of self-consciousness:

The incident took place on RawlakotÂ’s Nezapir sector near the LoC at about 10:30 am on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Indian army blamed Pakistani troops for violating the ceasefire.

"Pakistani troops have targeted Indian posts by firing rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns along the [Line of Control] in Doda Battalion forward area in Poonch district since 7:30 a.m. local time today," the Press Trust of India quoted an unidentified senior Army officer as saying.
