Srinagar, India

By Our Correspondent

Senior All-Parties Hurriyat Conference leader Abdul Gani Lone was killed on Tuesday afternoon when unidentified miscreants fired at him while he was addressing a meeting in the Idgah area of Srinagar.

One policeman, said to be Lone's Personal Security Officer, was also killed while a civilian bystander was injured in the attack.

The attack comes on the eve of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's visit to Jammu and Kashmir.

I don't think so. Sounds like this guy was a moderate and the Islamaniacs don't tolerate those. He was willing to talk to other parties not bomb them. Check the mosque.

Lone was assaulted on April 1 by a Hindu nationalist during a news conference. Lone did not press charges against the man, who hit him and tore his clothes. The man was a member of the Shiv Sena party, a member of Vajpayee's coalition.

Explain that.

1 held in robbery case

Tribune News Service

Ambala, December 18

The district police has achieved a breakthrough in the sensational godown robbery case with the arrest of one person.

Superintendent of Police Sandeep Khirwar said that Gyan Prakash, who has been nabbed, is allegedly involved in the heist at the godown of a leading company dealing in consumer goods. He said that cosmetics worth Rs 1.75 lakh had been recovered from him besides a Maruti car bearing a Delhi registration number.

He said that on questioning Gyan Prakash, some more information had been gathered and the police was hopeful of nabbing other persons who were involved in the case.

Mr Khirwar said that the robbery case at the godown of a pharmaceutical company in Kuldeep Nagar was also likely to be solved soon. The businessmen should employ younger persons as security guards besides keeping at least two security guards on duty in any area. Also, the security guards should be armed with good-quality firearms, he added.

Hinduism is love? :snicker:

Seriously, lately there've been people who would blame Muslims if it rained on their family picnic. Their latest darlings are the fanatical Hindus, who are just as bad as their Islamic counterparts. Worse, if one happens to be a Christian missionary in India.

Might memorize his name, I would say. It could be that this is the shot that opened ww.3, much as the shooting of Archduke Ferdinand opened ww.1.

Then round them up at the mosque anyway, anybody who is there is up to no good. Arrest them now and figure out the charges later.

Unfortunately, in Kashmir the majority of the population is muslim. You'd have to make some pretty big jails.

As big as Pak itself. Drive them over the line and put a fence around it.

If they'd just stop killing each other and get over their B.S. and petty differences,I'd be able to travel to Kashmir and stay on some of those flower covered boats.But no,they'll just keep killing each other over a section of land that is really remote.
It isn't like they'd know what to do w/ all those tourist dollars anyway...... <========Sarcasm

A man of conviction, Lone was never afraid to be a loner.
