Terrorists storm temple in Gandhinagar Agencies New Delhi, September 24
Three suspected terrorists have entered a temple in Gujarat's capital Gandhinagar and resorted to indiscriminate firing, killing at least 25 and injuring several others.
The terrorists entered the Akshardham temple belonging to the Swaminarayan sect around 1700 hours and fired at devotees.
"Seven men and women and four children are dead. Twenty-five people are injured and the injured are being taken out of the temple to Gandhinagar hospital," Inspector R B Rawal in the Gujarat state intelligence room told Reuters.
"There were over 50 people inside the temple when three gunmen opened fire inside the temple," Gujarat Home Secretary K Nitya Nandam told AFP.
State police control room spokesman G L Singhal had said earlier that four people had been killed in the shooting.
A television news channel put the toll at 6 dead and 40 injured.
According to an eyewitness, the three terrorists were wearing Army uniform and were armed with AK 47 rifles and sten guns.
A local police official said the terrorists had thrown a bomb at the temple, which is on fire.
According to initial reports, police forces have surrounded the temple and efforts are being made to evict people inside the temple. There is utter chaos in and around the temple.
A gun battle is reportedly on between the security forces and the terrorists. Commondos have reached the temple complex and the Army has also been called to deal with the situation.
The temple is close to the residence of the Gujarat Governor and Chief Minister and other VVIPs. The Gujarat State Assembly and Secretariat are within two kilometers of the temple complex.
The Gujarat government had received intelligence reports on the possibility of such an incident happening. Several VVIps visit the large temple complex daily.
Doctors in Ahmedabad have been told to report to hospitals.
Probably the Indian Ishapore Enfields (.308).
Yep, environazi groups are terrorists...and, come to think of it, even street gangs commit acts of terrorism against their own neighborhoods. The LA riot, because of the events shortly before and all during, qualifies as an act of terrorism. The Nation of Islam is full of former and current gang members, recruited in prison, who also happen to be native born Americans.
The workers are weary from their labors, while others have engaged is years of sloth that they haven't the strength nor the will to get up and defend the country. They become anti-war protestors because it gets them off the hook.
Until Americans understand that self acountability, family, and love of country and human life need to be the first things on their minds, there will never be that co-operation you seek. Each must get their lazy butts out of bed once in a while and do something mental and physical. Otherwise, we have 50% of the counrty to carry around. That's a lot of dead weight for the patriots.
YOU SAID IT PAL!
actually I said that some of them WERE the enemy...
and since we don't now which ones are or are not, we need to watch them all... and be quick to profile and confine, or expatriate the followers of this whacked out cult of murderors.
All of them support each other at some level.
their foundational religious books ALL praise and demand killing of jews and christians, enslaving others under the yoke, killing women by gruesome beheadings and lying to their enemies about the true nature of Islam, in preparation for their intended acts of genocide, is considered an act of salvation... they even have a special name for it... sounds something like " dyi taco bell"
The murderous lies they use to spread Islam are apparently, the doctrinal equivalent to them of Catholic and Protestant Christians taking communion... or a Jew having passover. An act of salvation.
They kill women and children as being immoral and disobedient, to gain a martyr's entrance to a heavenly whore house where they beleive they will be fornicating eternally and immorally with allah's hooker club.
I wonder if this is the teaching in America's very own "nation of islam" cult?
What a sick group of puppies... and this attack on hindus is but another one of their "acts of salvation".
Gee.How Me, me, me of you. Hope your not a neighbor.
If you didn't just forget a sarcasm tag at the end of that statement, your "fear" is groundless, because social collectivism is our enemy....as proven to us by the appeaseniks of EUrope and right here in the US every day. Also proven by September 11, a result of Bubba's Third Way agenda.
Yes, but considering the administration it happened during, and relavent evidence has probably been shredded by now. They were more interested in blaming the administration of President GHW Bush than in thoroughly investigating the facts.
We seem to agree on the fundamentals. Although, nit-pickywise, I would put love of human life before love of country in the hierarchy of virtues....
Nah. He/she always post crap like that. Capitalism is out. Christianity is out.
Homosexuality is in. Socialism is in....
If you read the whole thread, you'll catch on. Heck, he wants the US to have a King rather than a constitution. Go figure.
Not me. If we were to surrender our country to Muslim terrorists, there would be no American lives left. We would need to be eliminated. The country is what protects our lives. Save the country, save the people in it.
Yep, and there is no greater love than for a man to give his life to save a friend.
Oh I'm sorry Bob (joke), I thought that my question. Darn, and I had such a cool answer for it!
Yep. LOL...no, YOU win the prize, because I was HOPING that someone besides myself would brink up the radical Islamism/Democrat connection. Third Way, New Democrats and their radical Islamist constituents, are the American Taliban.
The kind of wisdom that would send us on a quantum leap forward into the progressive stone age! Dinosaur meat for everyone! Share the meat! Equality for all!
