#1 "Forgive my mistake. I wouldn't make such a mistake again."

I'll make bigger mistakes instead!

Sorry, nobody's that stupid. Not even JFnK. Death by slow-turning wood chipper missing a few teeth is in order here. Or perhaps slow-roasted over an open fire. His choice.

#2 A massacre for Rs 1,000 (20 dollars)!
The Army on Saturday presented an "overground worker" of Hizbul Mujahideen before media who was responsible for throwing a grenade on a religious congregation at a mosque in Tahab village of south Kashmir on Friday.

The job was done for a paltry Rs 1,000!

Four teenaged girls and two boys were killed in the blast and around 60 others were injured. The main target of the blast was religious preacher and chief of Sawt-ul-Awliya (voice of friends of Allah) Abdur Rashid Dawoodi, who sustained splinter injuries in the attack.

Brigadier GS Katoch, Commander of 70 Infantry Brigade, said that the accused Ghulam Nabi Mir alias Nikka was directly responsible for lobbing the grenade. "He was overpowered by a group of locals and handed over to us at 9.30 pm", he said at a press conference at 55 RR headquarters at Pulwama. He said that two Hizbul Mujahideen militants hatched the conspiracy to eliminate Molvi Dawoodi "who is spreading message of peace in his sermons".

The sand labourer Nikka, 22 is nephew of Hizb's local "Battalion Commander" Abdur Rashid Ganai alias Ashfaq. But he denied that he lobbed the grenade at Ashfaq's behest. "I was lured by upper ground Hizb worker Gulzar Ahmad who gave me the explosive and Rs 1000 with an advice to lob it at Maulana Dawoodi", he said.

He said that some people spotted him while tossing the grenade and chased him. "I attempted to run away but they chased and caught me outside the village. I was tied with ropes and even they tried to hang me", he said. Nikka said that he had no practice of lobbing grenades. "I did it for the first time", he said.

#3 The Kashmiri police have actually caught several grenade throwers recently, all were local people paid to lob grenades by Pak terrorists. A few were minors.

They are all muslim. All did the job for paltry sums of cash.

#4 On July 12, 2005, Mohammad Akram, 11, was on his way home from school when he was stopped by a group of terrorists. They asked him to throw a grenade in the local market place, and promised him Rs 500 (1US$=Rs 43) for the task. Terror-stricken Akram did not have a choice - he had to do as the men said. But before he could fling the grenade, it exploded in his hands, injuring him severely.

A few days later, Tahira, 9, from Pangai village, Poonch district, was seriously injured when an improvised explosive device (IED) that she was handling exploded. She too had been forced by terrorists to place the IED on a road often used by the Indian troops.

An alarming number of children are being used as 'terror tools' by various terrorist groups in Jammu and Kashmir. The children are used as spies, porters, and as guerrillas who throw grenades and plant IEDs. The children (some barely nine or 10 years of age) are even used as shields in encounters and deployed in operations against Indian security agencies.

#5 Srinagar, July 27

Jammu and Kashmir police has announced a reward of Rs one lakh besides government job for anyone who will catch a grenade thrower.

The announcement of the reward came days after police smashed the modules of Pakistan based Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT), Al-Badr and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), responsible for grenade and other attacks in the Kashmir valley, particuarly on tourists in the city.

Encouraged by the recent arrest of Mudasir and Hanief Bengali after announcing a reward of Rs five lakh and Rs three lakh respectively, the Zonal police headquarter said anyone who will catch a grenade thrower anywhere in the valley, will be given Rs one lakh and a government job.

About 30 persons were injured in three different grenade attacks at Narabal, Magam chowk and Sopore in north Kashmir during the past three days.

About a dozen tourists from Kolkata, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh were killed and scores wounded in different grenade attacks in the city and outskirts during the past two months.

However, police arrested the militants responsible for these grenade attacks.
