<b>77 innocent Hindus Killed in Kashmir by Muslim Terrorists in three incidents.</b>
<b>The date of the attack</b>
June 20, 1998
<b>The location</b>
A remote rural area in the southern part of Kashmir. India.
<b>A brief synopsis of the event</b>
In one of the worst attacks on Hindu civilians, <b>25 men taking part in wedding parties</b> were killed on Friday by Pakistan sponsored islamic terrorists armed with automatic weapons.
The Terrorists, in cold blood, killed members of two wedding parties drinking tea at a village stall while waiting for a bus to take them home after the weddings. The officials said five terrorists arrived in a stolen jeep, took cash and jewelry from the wedding guests at gunpoint, then separated the men and opened fire. <b>The two bridegrooms were among those killed.</b>
This was the third time in six months that large groups of Hindu civilians were singled out and killed by Islamic Terrorists.
On January, earlier that year <b>23 Hindu civilians were gunned down</b> in cold-blood by Islamic terrorists in a village north of Srinagar. Then in April, <b>29 Hindu villagers, including 13 women and children, were killed</b> in a remote mountain district in the Udhampur district, between Srinagar and Jammu.
<b>The number dead</b>
77 innocent civilians dead.
