Twin militant attacks in J&K, six armymen, 4 cops among 12 killed

Kathua, J&K: In a major fidayeen attack, militants dressed in army fatigues have killed at least 12 people in a police station and an Army cantonment in Jammu and Kashmir this morning. Over a dozen people are injured and more casualties are feared.

The militants first attacked a police station in Hiranagar of Kathua district in Jammu, killing four cops and two civilians. They escaped in a truck that they hijacked after killing the driver and surfaced in an Army cantonment in the adjoining Samba district, where they have reportedly killed at least six Army personnel.

There was reportedly confusion and chaos at the cantonment, which houses and armoured corp unit, as the militants are dressed in Army uniform. They were not stopped at the gate and walked into a mess, where they attacked and killed unarmed soldiers.

The heavily armed militants have now been reportedly identified and surrounded. A gun-battle is on.

The audacious attack comes only a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh confirmed that he will meet Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the US on the sidelines of a United Nations session. The two leaders are expected to meet on Sunday.

Kashmir watchers say militants tend to step up attacks just before a round of talks between India and Pakistan.

The fidayeen or suicide commandos attacked the Hiranagar police station at about 7 this morning. Shooting at policeman caught unaware, they managed to go up to the roof of the building, from where they lobbed grenades.

Hiranagar in Kathua is about a kilometre from the border with Pakistan and the militants are believed to have infiltrated into India recently.

Intelligence sources said all units in the region had been alerted that a fidayeen group had entered Jammu. This is the first fidayeen attack in the Jammu region of the state in over a decade.

Militants were in Army Uniform.

We need to sought out this matter. Army Uniforms are sold in open Market. It should be banned. Though recently there was change in Army Uniforms but it didn't solved this issue & it was minor change.

Never!

It will not allow our beloved PM from visiting his village Gah!

They are after all our feudal lords!

Didn't some Minister say that the military and the Police are there to die?

And Tronic accuses me to be anti Congress!

Are we really there to die, while the contemptuously reject our deaths immaterial nothing to stop talks as they kill and slap us on our face every time?

How long are we to lie supine and they have us?

Have we sold our honour.

Sir, this is very basic diff in our politicians and those of western countries. Our armed forces are not there to die for the nation but to ensure that our enemy dies. No one has ever won a war by dying for the country. we win wars by making our enemy die.

Joke doing rounds is that sonia G will be attending the funeral of these militants killed today with her son and Diggy Dog. She is devastated by such a huge loss of lives of seculars.
