| Hizbul sez it will attack polling places... |
| 2002-09-22 |
| Asking government employees and the general public to stay away from polling booths in Jammu and Kashmir, pro-Pakistan Hizbul Mujahideen today said it has formed squads to attack all booths in the valley. "We have formed squads and directed them to attack all polling booths. Hence, government employees and general public are warned to keep away from these places between 0700 hours and 1700 hours on the polling day," a Hizbul spokesman told a local news agency NAFA on phone from across the border. The threat came barely two days ahead of voting in 28 Assembly constituencies in the second phase of elections. Just helping the democratic process along, folks... Hizbul Mujahideen had carried out at attack on the motorcade of Tourism Minister Sakina Itoo yesterday, which left one CRPF officer and a civilian dead besides injuring 10 others. Hizbul was just saying a few days ago it doesn't attack politicians. Not that they'd tell lies, mind you... |
