| Kashmir Rebels Call Truce |
| 2005-10-11 |
| The main rebel alliance in Indian Kashmir yesterday said it had suspended fighting in quake-hit areas even as Indian police reported fresh bloodshed in the bitterly disputed region. Kashmirâs main rebel alliance, the United Jihad Council, faxed a statement to the local Kashmir News Service saying militant operations were on hold in regions affected by Saturdayâs devastating 7.6-magnitude earthquake. It said that Syed Salahuddin, chief of the regionâs most powerful rebel group, the Hizbul Mujahedin, âhas directed its cadres to halt their operations in the affected areas.â There was no immediate formal response from the Indian Army, which continued its operations in the Indian part of Kashmir, the disputed and divided Himalayan region that is also partly held by Pakistan. |

| #1 "It's a total disaster. We'll have to go with the hudna thingy. All our stuff just sorta, well, fell down. Our weapons caches, our terrorist training camps, even our barracks and homes where we keep the baby jihadis. All flattened. We have no idea when we'll be back up to speed. It'll really put a crimp in everyone's schedules, too: vacations, graduation ceremonies, the works. Gonna take a massive infusion of Western capital, that's for sure. Oh, almost forgot, the one thing we're sure of: it's Bush's fault(line)." |
