#1 Meanwhile


Look Ma, I caught some jihadis!!



And their toys!!

Indian army soldiers pose next to the bodies of suspected Islamic militants (L covered) in Machil, 200 km (124 miles) northwest of Srinagar June 7, 2006. The Indian army said on Tuesday it had killed at least eight suspected Islamist militants as they attempted to enter Indian Kashmir from the Pakistani-controlled part of the restive Himalayan region.

#2 Packing all that weaponry and they're only "suspected Islamist militants" ?

The insanity is truly global.

#3 That is Reuters for you.

Here is a quote from the former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir state, Gary Saxena

He also ridiculed President Musharraf's claim that more then 70,000 people have died in the state in the last ten years.

"I do not know from where he got that figure. As governor of the state, I had authentic statistics with me. More then 13,600 civilians lost their lives in the last fourteen years."

"Of these, 10,000 were killed by terrorists. The rest lost their lives when they got caught in the crossfire between the militants and the security forces," he said.

He lambasted the Pakistani president for not mentioning the figure of the security personnel killed in terrorist violence.

"We have lost 3,600 personnel of the security agencies."

"We have killed more then 16,700 terrorists in various operations, more then seventy per cent of them foreigners," he added.

He gave a detailed list of the arms and ammunition seized during anti-terrorist operations.

"We have captured 25,000 Kalashnikovs, 325 sniper rifles, over 1,000 machine guns, 1,800 rocket propelled grenades, 4,000 rocket launchers, 10,000 mines and 4000 wireless sets."

In addition to this, we have seized over 50,000 hand grenades, thirty tonnes of explosives and 7.5 tonnes of RDX,"
the former governor said.

He praised the Indian army for launching operation Sarp Vinash ("Death to Snakes") to flush out terrorists from Poonch, Rajouri and Surankote sectors of Jammu division.

#8 I feel for the poor parents. They appear to be the kind of 'good' Muslims Bush et al are always talking about. They certainly were saying the right things - which proves it can be done. So why aren't millions more 'good' Muslims saying the same kind of thing about their brethren in Toronto, etc.

#9 It doesn't seem as if President General Musharref is getting his money's worth from his purchases. He might want to think about that a bit... On the other hand, the more that the Indian Army disposes of, the fewer to bother him back home.

Because India has had riots in which Muslims were lynched. I'm not saying that's a good thing, just that there might be a bit of self-preservation in their motives.

And I'm not saying that's a BAD thing, either.
