A Ray Ban toting Farookh Abdullah just stated that 'AFSPA has to go... this is a game we play everyday... this changes nothing... AFSPA has to go'

AFSPA must be repealed.

What have those votaries of that thought to say now?

Hilal Maulvi of LeT is found to be behind the attack.

Militants came dressed as sports person with sports kits, played cricket with the children for a while, then whipped out AKs from their kitbags and then started the attack by indiscriminate firing and lobbing grenades in the CRPF camp.

Yup, Daddy Farookh... catch it on Headlines Today now...

His logic is that keep AFSPA in border regions but remove from valley.

He said: "Special Powers Act will have to go... There is no way out of it. Do you think we were not facing such situations when Special Powers Act was not there? We have always faced such situations. We say keep the Special Powers Act where it is needed... near the borders. These are things that will happen and we will face them. This does not mean we need the Special Powers Act to face such acts."

Farookh or Omar?

If Farookh, that is a new line for him?

The Act that Omar is wanting to enact for the JK Police is said to contain the same provision for the police to have SPA!

But JK Police is under JK govt unlike IA. So JK Police with SPA would be at the beck and call of JK Govt, which is just a sham.

RIP Brave Jawans...........

Since Afzal Guru's hanging

24th feb sarpanch killed
Mar 2nd two local policeman killed in hit and run case in Kupwara
Today 5 crpf jawan killed

How fast the law and order situation is changing in the valley and this situation being utilised by terrorists

This situation reminds me of the article written by col. Ajay Shukla in his Blog titled "Army claim of active LoC belied by J&K government figures"
where he tried to nullyfy the claims of the Army who had issued a statement that cross border infliteration is on rise by comparing the data with terror
incidents happening in the valley.

Now I wonder how would Col. Shukla react to the fact that how fast the terrorist are/ were able to capitalise on the situation where law enforcement agencies were stretched to maintain law and order situation.
Would this be possible if they are not operating as sleeper cell modules waiting for opportunist moment .............to the scenario which he had replied that terrorists are not coming to the valley for holidays.

Other members take on this?

Barkha Dutt Tweet -

The return of the Fidayeen attack. Militants strike in Srinagar in area that also has a public school. Delhi please pay attention.

Note the use of word Fidayeen - 'those willing to sacrifice themselves for God`- rather than terrorists. This lady is in the league of anti-nationals like Arundhati Roy.

Hizbul Mujahideen behind attack on CRPF camp in Srinagar - The Times of India

Hizbul Mujahideen behind attack on CRPF camp in Srinagar

SRINAGAR: Five jawans were killed today when two militants stormed a CRPF camp near a school in Bemina area in the heart of the city in the first suicide attack in Kashmir in three years in which the terrorists were suspected to be from Pakistan. However, a pro-Pakistan militant group HizbulMujahideen claimed responsibility and threatened to repeat the attacks in future.
The two 'fidayeens' (suicide militants), who entered the Police Public School ground in the guise of playing cricket, were eliminated during a 30-minute gunbattle following the terror attack in which 18 people, 15 jawans and three civilians, were also injured. Five jawans and the three civilians were out of danger, officials said.

"Prima facie the terrorists don't appear to be local but from across the border and first impressions are that they are possibly from Pakistan," Union home secretary R K Singh said in New Delhi.

In Srinagar, a spokesman from the Hizbul Mujahideen group called a local news agency to claim responsibility for the attack that began at 10:45 am and threatened more such attacks in the future. "It was a guerrilla attack carried out by a special squad formed for the purpose," Hizb spokesman Baleeguddin said in a telephonic call to the news agency.

Looking like other boys playing cricket at the school ground, the militants removed their jackets after they entered the field, lobbed several grenades and fired indiscriminately from their AK-47s concealed in their kits to inflict the causalities before they were killed in the gunbattle.

"Five jawans have been martyred and seven (jawans) have been injured," IGP (Kashmir) Abdul Gani Mir told reporters at the scene of attack. The school was luckily closed due to strike called by separatists in support of their demand for return of mortal remains of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru.

The CRPF camp at Bemina is surrounded by the Police Public School and many government buildings. "There is a ground for Police Public School in Pirampura police station. Now some boys were playing cricket there. The CRPF jawans deployed in the adjacent area were in the standby," Singh said, adding two terrorists carrying kit bags came, took out AK-47s and started firing and lobbed hand grenades. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah told the state Assembly the strike was a 'fidayeen' attack.

Today's incident is the first suicide attack in Kashmir in the last three years with the last such attack having taken place in January 2010.
