Islamic terrorists kill sleeping Hindu Family of Eight
Terrorists stormed a village in Jammu & Kashmir, India, early Sunday and
killed eight members of a Hindu family, including a 6 year old boy, as
protests continued against the destruction of a 15th century Muslim
shrine, apparently by the Islamic terrorists themselves.
Gunmen broke into a farmhouse in Bharat village, about 155 miles south of
Srinagar, and sprayed bullets on the sleeping family members, police said.
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the killing, police
suspect the attackers belonged to one of two Islamic gangs known to be
operating in the area. Nearly 35 rebels were killed last week in gun
battles with Indian soldiers in Char-e-sharif, where an ancient shrine of
Kashmir's patron saint burned to the ground during fighting Thursday.
