Three Kashmiris get death for Delhi bombings

2010-04-23

NEW DELHI: A New Delhi court sentenced three members of a Kashmiri rebel group to death on Thursday for their role in the 1996 bombings at a busy market in the Indian capital that killed 13 people, news reports said.

Mohammed Naushad, Mohammed Ali Bhatt and Mirza Nissar Hussain -- all members of the Jammu-Kashmir Islamic Front (JKIL) -- were found guilty of carrying out the bombing at New Delhi's crowded Lajpat Nagar market.
This being India, expect the sentences to be carried out ...
A fourth rebel was sentenced to life in prison with hard labour for involvement in the bombing, Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported. Two other insurgents involved in the bombing were given prison sentences, but the court ordered their release because they had been imprisoned during the trial, PTI said.

The JKIL is one of more than a dozen separatist rebel groups fighting in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) since 1989 for the Muslim-majority state's independence from predominantly Hindu India, or its merger with Pakistan.

Not so sure. The Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru has exhausted all appeals. His petition for clemency to the Indian President is being held by the Indian Home Ministry with the excuse that other, earlier, petitions need to be handled first. The Indian Government simply sees no need to execute him. These fellows will join the queue.

We need to bring back hard labor in the states! 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, with Sunday being area beautification day at the prison. Prisoners should work so hard every day that the only thing they want to do when they finish is eat and sleep.

#3 I am not absolutely certain, but I think Dave missed adding the /sarc tag at the end.

#2 I dunno Dave,

These swine were found guilty, and I don't believe Amnesty International has either venue or jurisdiction. Allah is the creation of pagan sand-monsters.

#1 Let us all hope and pray that Amnesty International can intervene, and stop the suffering of these three innocent men, and send them them back to their families, so that they may live their lives in peace,Allah Akbar.
