| Three-year-old boy 'gunned' down by militants |
| 2009-07-23 |
| Even as the Jammu and Kashmir government readies to file an affidavit in the Supreme Court about the rape and murder of two women in Shopian, the troubled district has been hit by another shocking incident. In the latest a three-year-old boy and his father were gunned down late on Wednesday night (July 22) allegedly by militants in Dunardu in Shopian. A group of unidentified gunmen reportedly burst into the house of Mohammmad Aslam Awan late Wednesday night and opened fire. While Aslam and his son Arif were killed instantly, others in the family sustained injuries. In a similar incident in April this year, Aslam's mother Reshma was shot dead. No militant outfit has claimed responsibility for the incident. The police have sent the bodies for a post mortem and launched a manhunt for the militants. |

| #1 I don't know why any reasonable terrorist wouldn't be eager to claim bragging rights on this. |
