#1 Any odds on there being beaten, bloodied and robbed NGO employees and/or random citizens somewhere behind this story of charitable ~~terrorist~~separatists?

#2 This is an interesting story for what it indicates of the alliance between journalists and the terrorists.

"the most visible aid operation" ?

Terrorists suddenly have tons of relief supplies and the necessary logistics trains ?
They can get past the counterinsurgency checkpoints (which are still in operation - the Indian army is still hunting and killing jihadis)?

A few thousand of them are dispensing more aid than three hundred thousand Indian troops and tens of thousands of Kashmiri police and civil admin people?

Utter rubbish.

Malik has been sidelined and he is ramping up his PR to gain credibility with outside financiers (wealthy Saudi, Paki sponsors).

What is interesting is how the associated press will pick up this bit of propaganda and run with it.
