I am surprised why he did not use his Khukhari and chop off his head .. The valiant Gurkhas are known for ..

Same here, wonder why he chose to use the grenade instead of his trusted Khukri. But anyway job well done, kudos to IA, another Baki homo muzzie dispatched to hell to meet his 72 virgin goats.

Indian Army foils infiltration bid by three Pakistani militants in Jammu

An attempt by three Pakistani militants to sneak into Indian territory was today foiled by the army, which also defused an Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted by the infiltrators along LoC in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. This is the third attempt in a month by militants to breach the borders. "Our troops noticed suspicious movement of a group of three terrorists opposite our (forward) post along LoC in Bhimbher Gali at around 0830 hours today," a defence spokesman said in Jammu. Troops guarding the borderline fired on the infiltrating terrorists and they fled to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), he said. They had also planted an IED to target troops, he said adding that it was recovered and destroyed in the location. No one was injured and there was no damage to property, the spokesman said. This was the third infiltration bid by Pakistan militants along LoC. On May 10, two militants were killed when Army troops foiled an infiltration bid along Line of Control (LoC) in Kalsia belt of Poonch district. One jawan had suffered injuries in the firing. On May 3, troops foiled an infiltration bid along LoC in Sawjian belt of Poonch district. Army officials said the ceasefire violations and firing by Pakistani troops were aimed at helping militants infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir from the "launching pads" along LoC, where they are waiting to crossover. There are also inputs that bids to engineer attacks by Pakistan's Border Action Team (BAT) on Indian forward posts and patrolling parties are being planned from across the border, they said.

^ India Recalls its Troops From
Joint Exercise in Thailand

NEW DELHI: India has recalled its troops currently in Thailand for the bilateral 'Maitree' military exercise in the wake of the coup there even as it pitched for restoration of normalcy based on the principles of democracy and will of the people of that country. Spokesperson in Ministry of External Affairs said the troops have been "advised to return" to India following the situation in that country. There are about 50 Indian troops who had gone to participate in the exercise, which was scheduled to start tomorrow. "India is concerned with the recent developments in Thailand. We are monitoring the evolving situation closely. The Indian community in Thailand is safe. "We hope for an urgent political resolution and restoration of normalcy based on the principles of democracy, the will of the people and rule of law in Thailand," he said. In a sudden move, Thailand's army yesterday seized power in a bloodless coup and suspended the Constitution after months of anti- government protests left the country in limbo. The junta today tightened its grip on the politically unstable nation, summoning the entire ousted cabinet, including former premier Yingluck Shinawatra to a meeting to restore peace and order, a day after it staged a coup.

Infiltration Bid Foiled Along LoC in Poonch

JAMMU:The Indian Army foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, police said Monday. The Pakistani troops resorted to an unprovoked firing in Poonch to facilitate infiltration by a group of guerrillas, police said. "The Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing at the Indian positions in Tarkundi sector of the LoC in Poonch during Sunday night," a senior police officer told IANS here. "The firing was started to help an infiltration bid by a group of five to six militants which was foiled by alert troops of the army guarding the LoC on our side." The Indian Army and intelligence agencies have been blaming the Pakistan Army for aiding infiltration of trained guerrillas into Jammu and Kashmir from across the borders to sustain more than 23-year long armed violence in the state. Pakistan has been denying the accusation.
