| 9 soldiers killed in IED roadside explosion in Kashmir |
| 2008-07-19 |
| Nine army troopers were killed and 14 wounded when a massive roadside bomb took out a bus carrying troopers at Narbal, 15 km from Srinagar [Images] on the Srinagar-Uri highway on Saturday afternoon. The bus was part of an army convoy moving from the frontier Chowkibal area in the north Kashmir Kupwara district to capital Srinagar. A defence spokesman in Srinagar said nine army troopers died on the spot, while more than 14 injured were shifted to hospital. The army had to press into service helicopters to lift the injured to the army base hospital in the high-security Badamibagh cantonment area. Helicopters were seen making sorties between the blast site and the base hospital to make medical aid available immediately to the injured, some of whom are stated to be in critical condition. Police sources in Srinagar said the bus was ripped apart in the massive explosion, turning it into a mangled mass of metal and on its side. Witnesses said the blast shook the entire area, leading to disruption of traffic on the strategic highway that leads to the border areas in north Kashmir. No outfit has yet claimed responsibility for the blast. The entire area was surrounded by army and paramilitary for searches. Senior army and police officers are already at the spot. The blast comes close on the heels of the recent Sopore encounter, where a cop was killed and 13 securitymen were wounded. Two terrorists were also killed in 24-hour-long gun battle. |

| #4 Actually not all infidels would be converted. Dhimmis are actually valued. Who else can be taxed by a Muslim ruling class? |

| #3 islam would consume itself, like a pike in a pike-infested lake. After all of the various infidels are "converted" or killed, the various islamic sects would turn on themselves until only a handful of true believers was left on Earth. |

| #2 If only the damn Hindus would know their place and accept Muslim rule over India, there would be peace... |

| #1 proving again the complete bs of the left that if the israel/palestine problem was settled(i.e.-israel destroyed) then muslims would stop their murdering of infidels all around the rest of the world! |
