Foreign mercenaries, especially of the Lashker-e-Taiba, have been indulging in street fights and have let loose a rein of terror on Kashmiri youths in training camps located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The mercenaries, including those of Lashkar, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Al-Badar, who shifted their bases at the behest of ISI to PoK after the US toughened its stand against promotion of terrorism, have virtually launched a violent campaign against Kashmiris, including recruits of Hizbul Mujahideen. Recently, Lashkar militants attacked Hizbul Mujahideen and made a near fatal attack on their leader Ismail Zaheer. Lashkar wanted the Hizb to disband itself in the area which the Lashkar claims as exclusively its own. The militants have confirmed the incidents and said that a flood of Afghan mercenaries, who arrived in PoK after the American strike in Kabul, were treating locals very badly.
Seems all is not well in Thugland. The Afghans and the "Arab" buddies have their own ideas of how things should be run. The Afghans were glad to see them go because of their lordly and ruthless ways, and now the Kashmiris get to put up with them. |
