Four hard boyz iced in Poonch
2003-05-23
Mildly edited for technical terminology...
JAMMU: Four snuffies, including a 'district commander' of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) were waxed in Surankote area of Poonch. Acting on a tip-off, Indo forces launched an operation to flush the hard boyz out this morning. As the security force reached their target, Bad Guys opened fire upon them using automatic weapons. In the subsequent shootout, four snuffies were forcibly assisted from this vale of tears. Two of the no-longer ticklish have been identified as Osama Bin Zaid, 'District Commander' Poonch of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Mohammad Kazi, formerly a HM ultra, now a corpse. Identity of two other militants could not be ascertained.
Not enough pieces left...
The recoveries made from the carcasses included 3 AK rifles, 10 AK magazines, 217 rounds of AK, 10 hand grenades and one radio set. The gun battle was continuing when reports last came in.
Meaning there's more? Or are the cops just making sure they're thoroughly dead?
Meanwhile, security forces and Officer Friendly at Chakthroo village drained the gene pool of three Kalashnikoveros. Two charred carcasses of militants were recovered by troops yesterday evening while another roasty-toasty cannon fodder was recovered today from two gutted houses.
That doesn't read too well, does it? Sounds like the third corpse was a bit spread out...
The turbans had fired upon the search party, and Sathru head constable Safdar Shah was shot in the leg. The coppers and security forces gave chase, and the Bad Guys went inside two abandoned houses, spraying hot lead everywhere. The exchange of fire led to the houses catching fire. 6 AK rifles, 6 AK magazines and one wireless set were recovered from the possession of the defunct, who had no further need for them.
Terrible, the way they make those abandoned houses so flamable...
