Those kidnapped cops are going to have a short shelf life.

Hope the pain and the agony of the torture and mutilation they are inevitably going to undergo is what, i don't know...but their last moments on this earthly vale are going to be excruciatingly painful.

"Thanks for reading and speaking my mind for me--this time."

You're welcome, LOL. I won't let it go to my head. Most FReepers have a real THING about the media trying to legitimize terrorists by using terminology specifically designed to make them seem somehow legitimate.

True....it'll be a miracle if they're resued, but we can PRAY those animals will be caught and the deaths of those officers avenged.

A little payback....

: Indian troops shot dead twelve militants in gunbattles on Monday in held Kashmir, in the wake of a major attack on a police post, officials said.

Militants, meanwhile, shot dead an alleged security force informer, three policemen, an army soldier and detonated two bombs, injuring two people, they said. Security forces overnight gunned down six militants near Baderwah town of southern Doda district, 220 kilometres south of Srinagar, a defence ministry spokesman said.

"Troops cordoned off the area after a tip-off that there was a militant hide-out. The militants opened fire and six of them were killed in the encounter," the spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Bhamwar Singh Rathore, said in Jammu. He said the slain militants were identified as members of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen.

Four more militants were shot dead by Indian army soldiers near the northern township of Handwara, 85 kilometres north of Srinagar on Monday evening, an army spokesman said. An army soldier also died in the encounter, he added.

On Monday police recovered bodies of two of the four policemen abducted by Hizb men from the post they stormed, police said, taking the toll of those killed in the attack to 13. Two other policemen were set free earlier.

Security forces were on Monday searching the forest near the demolished police post at Gool to find the culprits. Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed said the attack on the police post was aimed at derailing his government's peace initiative.

"The enemy within and across the border have stepped up their planned effort with obvious designs to derail our peace initiative by targeting police personnel and innocent civilians," Sayeed said in a statement. He termed the militant storming of a police post as "gruesome." Sayeed declared that his government would deal with such elements with an iron hand. "We are equally determined to continue our sincere efforts for the restoration of peace by winning the minds and hearts of the people," he said.

In a separate incident early Monday, two militants were killed in the southern Anantnag district in "retaliatory firing" by security forces, a police spokesman said. "The fighting erupted when militants hiding in an under-construction structure opened fire at an army patrol injuring two soldiers," he said.

Police said suspected militants shot dead an alleged security force informer and a policeman in the village of Chakepohru in southern Pulwama district on Monday afternoon. Both the victims were Kashmiri Sikhs. A policeman and a taxi-driver were injured in a bomb explosion at Bijbehara township, 40 kilometres south of here, also on Monday, police said.



And the blood flows on, la di di di, ladadada

>>Both the victims were Kashmiri Sikhs.

Must've been an Indian plot to kill her own citizens, eh?

[TBP]

Might have been. They do have a histroy of dressing up like "militants" and committing atrocities like this. Two independent investigations and a report in teh New York Times Magazine show that Indian government forces carried out the massacre of 35 Sikhs in Chithisinghpora three years ago this month. Witnesses overheard them speaking to each other in Hindi, not Punjabi or Urdu.

Indian troops were caught red-handed in the act of trying to burn down a Gurdwara and some Sikh homes in another village in Kashmir. The villagers, both Sikh and Muslim, overwhelmed the soldiers and seized their vehicle.

There have been numerous incidents of this type. Some human-rights activists believe that the attack on the Indian Parliament building, which killed only minorities and lower-caste individuals, may have been a crime of this type. "Fake encounters" are a well-known tactic of the Indian police. These are incidents in which the police kill some Sikh, Muslim, Christian, or other minority, then plant "evidence" and claim that the person was killed in an encounter with the police.

The State Department reported that the Indian government paid over 41,000 cash bounties to police officers to kill Sikhs. One such bounty was paid to a policeman who killed a three-year-old boy.

I knew you'd bring upstuff from the past.

It's funny you have this habit; chronologically challenged i supposed could be the syndrome. Not to mention being logically and factually challenged.


When terrorist hide in the sanctuary of religious places, the indians go after them, as Indira Gandhi's valiant, brave, honorable and successful Operation Blue Star againt the scum sikh terrorists (a tiny minority in india, btw, but when have you let facts get in the way) hiding in the gurdwara in Amritsar. A military operation that helped break the back of the kooky khalistanis....

Engaging in polemics and diatribes with no context, selectively and hashing together lines of attack from years ago and mixing them up, engaging in demagogic lies for your pakistani friends.

This was a Pakistani paper. Even they didn't make that claim.

You have such an animus towards the Indians that not even the Pakistanis would take you seriously, though i'm sure they use you very happily.

Those kidnapped cops are going to have a short shelf life.

Not as short as Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human-rights activist in Punjab who did a study of cremation grounds and wrote a report exposing the Indian govenrment's policy of picking up Sikhs, torturing and murdering them, then declaring their bodies "unidntified" and secretly cremating them. According to human-rights studies, over 50,000 Sikhs have been eliminated in this manner.

For exposing this practice, Mr. Khalra was kidnapped by the police on September 6, 1995, while washing his car in front of his house. Six weeks later, he was murdered while still in police custody.

The only witness to the kidnapping was arrested outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar for trying to hand a petition to Jack Straw, the British Foreign Minister who was then the Home Minister.

This kind of atrocity is typical of Indian "democracy." That is why minority-controlled states such as Kashmir, Punjab (Khalistan), Nagaland, and otehrs are seeking to free themselves from Indian government control.

Oooooh, that's really factual -- called humanrights activists -- don't bother, i wouldn't believe anything you claim and this claim is over the top.

Thanks for a good laugh, though. You are funny.

[swarthyguy]

Man, i hope you get paid by the pakis or the chinese for the yeoman work you do on their behalf.

"Hope the pain and the agony of the torture and mutilation they are inevitably going to undergo is what, i don't know...but their last moments on this earthly vale are going to be excruciatingly painful."

As opposed to the driver for a Sikh religious leader who was tied to two cars and torn in half? I'd take you more seriously if you woudl ever condemn acts like that which are committed by the Indian government, but you won't.

[TBP]

The Pakistanis don't give me a penny.

[swarthyguy]

Listen, sweetie, i'm not here to discuss past atrocities that may have een committed in a civil war. You never mention Sikh atrocities or cite them as India Govt plots.
You never condemn jihadis or their sponsors the pissy pakis. So there, nananananananan!!

So, we don't take each other seriously, Good.

The Khalistani movement is over; it only exists in your benighted mind and the lunatic ravings of those whose turbans are on too tight.
