2003-10-21 India-Pakistan

~~Krazed killers~~ Militants on Monday took 10 civilians, including an imam, hostage inside a house in Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir, official sources said. Security forces laid siege to the house in village Thraren at Shopian, some 65 km from Srinagar, as tension ran high in the area. "After the five villagers including an Imam went in to persuade the ~~snuffies~~ militants to surrender, they took them hostage. There is a standoff now between the ~~turbans~~ militants and the troops, who are worried about the safety of the civilians being held hostage," the police officer said. The operation is still continuing.
Followup from al-Jizz:
Resistance fighters have released 12 hostages being held in a house near the village of Shopian, south of Srinigar. The hostages were seized yesterday morning after separatists had snatched the civilians in an attempt to negotiate their own surrender. On Tuesday the Indian army fired tear gas into the house to try and flush out the separatists and secure the release of the hostages. The hostages were released but the resistance fighters remained inside the building.
Guess it's time to burn the place down, huh?
In another encounter, security forces on Monday killed two unidentified ~~gunnies~~ militants at Muran in Pulwama district while one BSF jawan got injured. A BSF spokesman said two AK rifles were recovered from the slain militants.
Security forces on Sunday night killed two Jaish-e-Mohammad ~~bad boyz~~ militants in an encounter at Kanthwali Jumagund in Kupwara district. One was identified as Bilal Choudary of Jumagund. 1 AK rifle, 3 magazines, 75 rounds, 1 RPG and 1 hand grenade was recovered.
On Sunday evening ~~hard boys~~ militants barged into the house of Wali Mohammad Mir of Panzwah in Handwara, in Kupwara district and kidnapped his son Zubair Ahmad a 7th class student and later shot him dead, police said.
~~Grenade artists~~ Militants on Monday afternoon hurled a hand grenade towards a security force vehicle near Batamallo general bus stand which missed the intended target ~~as usual~~ and exploded on the road causing injuries to 14 persons including 4 school going children and 2 women ~~also as usual~~.

#1 Y'know, we could "clean up" if we were to show these soccer-playing weenies how to throw. Cheap lessons would net a bundle. They got that foot-eye coordination thing down pat, but can't throw for shit. I can't recall hearing (or reading) of any grenade attack that worked.

Recall the post-apocalyptic "vision" of HollyWeird Directors? They imagined some unspecified global nuke exchange after which civilization is ruptured and mankind descends to his animal level and all societal norms break down into chaos. I used to think that Neville Shute's On The Beach or Peterson's (?) The Last Ship epitomized how the end would come.

Hell, Pakiland is already there and clearly demonstrates that there is no end. They breed 'em and indoctrinate 'em faster than they can kill each other off. Of course, the key is the fact that they've splintered into 6 or 7 thousand different groups, ala the Life of Brian's colosseum scene. But sooner or later these TFL (TotallyFuckingLoony) barbarians will start looking outward - beyond India and Kashmir. Their recent Saudi visitors might have provoked the first step in that direction. Picture them united under the Wahabbis... We need to be prepared to be pre-emptive and cauterize the wound, lest mankind bleed to death. We'll do the self-flagellation atonement gig later. Wow, I'm feeling kinda bad about it already.
