More Hindus killed in Kashmir

Relatives and friends mourn a murdered Hindu women
By Daniel Lak in Delhi

For the second day running, suspected Muslim militant gunmen have shot dead members of the Hindu faith in the troubled territory of Indian-administered Kashmir.

In the latest incident, five Hindu truck drivers were separated from followers of other religions in a convoy of vehicles that were stopped by militants on the main highway. They were then shot dead.

On Sunday, four Kashmiri Hindus in a remote village in the south of the territory were murdered.

At Least 34 Hindus Killed By Kashmir Militants
May 1, 2006 -- Suspected Islamic militants have massacred at least 34 Hindus in Indian-administered Kashmir, in the worst violence to hit the region in several years.

According to survivors, 22 villagers were lined up and gunned down in the village of Thawa overnight.

The bullet-riddled bodies of 12 other people, who were kidnapped from another village on Sunday, were also found by police overnight into today.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility.

The attacks occurred ahead of scheduled talks in New Delhi later this week between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Kashmiri separatist groups.

In New Delhi today, senior Interior Ministry official Sri Prakash Jaiswal strongly condemned the violence. But he said the attacks will not halt peace efforts:

"I want to tell the people of Jammu and Kashmir not to worry, I want to tell the nation that do not be perturbed. Such incidents will not stop the country and especially Jammu and Kashmir from moving towards peace."

India and Pakistan each claim all of Kashmir, which remains divided. More than 40,000 people have been killed since an Islamic insurgency began in 1989 aimed at ending Indian rule in part of the province.

Jammu
Rajiv Nagar - from post 16 by Sunder

<b>. A brief synopsis of the event</b>

The victims were killed by attackers disguised as <i>Hindi</i> holy men, who fired weapons and threw grenades (AP)" ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2127790.stm )
[Note that BBC often tends to state 'Hindi' instead of 'Hindu', this is especially true of Indian reporters with Hindu names, probably a distancing mechanism]

- "According to witnesses, the attackers entered the shanty town of Qasim Nagar dressed in the robes of sadhus (holy men) and carrying bags. They exploded several grenades before heading for the temples, pulling Kalashnikov rifles out their bags and firing indiscriminately."

<b>. The number dead</b>
28 ( >= 27)

<b>. The number injured</b>
"more than 30 were injured" ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2127286.stm )

<b>. The group which claimed responsibility, or which the security apparatus claimed was responsible</b>
- "Although no group have claimed responsibility, local police suspect the pro-Pakistan militant group Lashkar-e-Tayyaba as being behind the attack."
( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2127286.stm )
