Two cops killed in J&K terrorist attack
2020-08-16
[HindustanTimes] Two coppers of the Indian Reserve Police (IRP) were killed and another injured when unidentified murderous Moslems attacked a police party at Nowgam Bye Pass at the city outskirts.

According to the police, on Friday morning, murderous Moslems fired at the police party deployed at Nowgam and injured three of them. They were admitted to a hospital where two of them gave up the ghost. The murderous Moslems escaped after the attack.

The attack came a day before Independence Day, when security was already on high alert. The police have established fresh checkpoints within the city.

A spokesperson for the police confirmed that three personnel were maimed in the attack and two of them gave up the ghost. Soon after the attack, the top brass rushed to the spot. The third injured policeman is said to be stable. All three men were from the IRP 20 battalion. The dear departed coppers were identified as Ishfaq Ahmad and Fayaz Ahmad.

Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar blamed Jaish-e-Mohammad
...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat...
murderous Moslems for the attack on the coppers.

"We are trying to identify the murderous Moslems responsible. There were inputs that an attack could take place anywhere in the city. The coppers were wearing bulletproof gear, but were still fatally shot.’’

After the attack, a search operation was launched in the area. No group has grabbed credit so far.

Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
Apni Party (JKAP) strongly condemned the attack.

In a statement, a party spokesperson termed the attack "inhuman". "Violence is not a solution but a gigantic impediment that spreads hatred. In any of its manifestations, violent mostly peaceful extremism is unacceptable in a civilised society, regardless of political, ideological or religious motivations," the spokesperson said.

The BJP and the PDP also condemned the attack.
