Shoot-at-sight orders in Gilgit
2005-07-26
GILGIT: Northern Areas Inspector General (IG) of Police Sarmad Saeed Khan has said that militants and terrorists in Gilgit will be shot on sight. A regional weekly paper called Naqqara on Monday quoted the IG as saying that a handful of terrorists had taken the whole population hostage and the time had come to deal with them. The paper said the IG's shoot on sight order was applicable to illegal gunrunners, terrorists and arsonists and he appealed to locals to cooperate with police to eliminate anti-state elements. The paper quoted the IG as saying that the sectarian tendency in the Northern Areas police had decreased to a satisfactory level.

#2  Any idiot walking into a building and claiming he has a bomb should be shot on sight! We just can't take the risk anymore to handle morons delicately. Just think of it as bleach in the gene pool. ;)

#1  Shoot-on-sight practices are a hot topic. Seattle has hired an Israeli general to train the police service in counter suicide bomber tactics.

A few weeks ago a man who said he had a bomb was shot to death in front of a Seattle courthouse. A couple of days ago, a "North African man" entered City Hall with a bag with "ALLAH IS GREAT" written on the side. He is lucky he didn't try that at London City Hall.
