Who claimed responsibility?

Lashkar-e-Taiba?

Sharia alert! They took women hostage? Were they related to any of the women? What were they doing in a home with a woman to whom none of them were related?

Oh, those gallant Muslims, protecting the honor of the women they "protect".

Just for the record, Jammu is the Hindu majority part of the State, and treating it as a part of the Kashmir dispute is just another way to feed some 300k Hindus to the Jihad.

Looks like Article 370 of the Indian constitution, which grants Jammu & Kashmir its own constitution (something no other Indian state has) has worked wonders for the state.

"...press photographer Ashok Sodhi of the Daily Excelsior was shot dead when he attempted to take a picture of the house where from militants were firing."

no doubt a Muslim Photographer, working for a Muslim newspaper in a Muslim town, taking propoganda photos for the Muslim terrorists to show the new terrorist trainees "real Muslim terrorists in action"

My sincere condolences to all non-Muslim Indians reading of this ugly attack by Muslim jihadi assassins.

What little I know about Jammu and Kashmir, from old books, tells me that it is - or used to be - one of the most naturally beautiful places on the face of planet earth.

May the curse of the jihad and of sharia Islam be utterly removed from these beautiful mountains and valleys and the ancient holy places, and their true loveliness be restored; may Mother India triumph finally and forever over the deluded assassins who follow the wicked teachings of Ubul Kassim ha-Meshugga alias 'mohammed'.

{ha-Meshugga, 'the Madman' is what the great medieval Jewish philosopher and physician Maimonides called 'mohammed', with, I think, lethal accuracy. Ubul Kassim was 'mohammed's' real name, and I prefer to call him by it on occasion, to cut him down to size as a mere man, much as 'dumbledore' in the Harry Potter books cuts 'lord voldemort' down to size by using his birth name, 'tom riddle'. 'mohammed' means 'praised one', and sounds to me as hollow and false as the sorts of titles 'dear leader', 'beloved leader', etc., lavished on the likes of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot or Kim Il Sung}.

"Terror returns to Jammu," by Arun Joshi for the Hindustan Times, May 12 (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
In a dastardly attack, the biggest in {Hindu-majority} Jammu region since 2002, militants {jihadis} struck in the border town of Samba, killing five people, including a {Hindu?} woman hostage and a photojournalist.
Two militants {Muslim assassins} holed up in a house were killed on Sunday evening after a fierce, 13-hour encounter. The militants {assassins} had taken six {Hindu?} people, including women and children, hostage....
From within the house, they opened fire and lobbed grenades at the policemen outside. This was followed by a fierce 13-hour encounter. The way the militants {assassins} were firing through windows and targeting soldiers and policemen, indicated they were trained in urban guerrilla warfare. In a gruesome sight, the militants {assassins} threw the body of a woman hostage out.
In the gun battle, a soldier and a photojournalist were killed. While the soldier died fighting militants {assassins}, press photographer Ashok Sodhi of the Daily Excelsior was shot dead when he attempted to take a picture of the house where from militants {assassins} were firing.

Sorry, everybody! What I MEANT to post was the following.

First - much thanks to Shyamsunder for clarifying the identity of victims, such as the photojournalist.

Secondly - I offered, as a mental exercise, a rewritten version of the article as it might have appeared, were Infidel journalists and editors as clear-headed as Mr Spencer and Mr Fitzgerald have taught us jihadwatchers to be. It was a preliminary draft of that, which got accidentally posted just now. Sorry! I now provide the final version, here.

To wit:

"Jihadi Assassins Kill Five in Jammu".
'In a dastardly attack, the biggest in Hindu-majority Jammu region since 2002, Muslim jihadi assassins struck in the Hindu border town of Samba, killing five non-Muslims including a Hindu woman hostage and a Hindu photojournalist.
'Two Muslim jihadi assassins holed up in a house were killed on Sunday evening after a fierce, 13-hour battle. The jihadis had taken six Hindus, including women and children, hostage....
'From within the house, they opened fire and lobbed grenades at the Indian policemen outside. This was followed by a fierce 13-hour battle.
' The way the jihadi assassins were firing through windows and targeting Indian soldiers and policemen, indicated they were trained in urban guerrilla warfare. In a gruesome sight, the Muslim assassins threw the body of a murdered Hindu woman hostage out.
'In the gun battle, an Indian soldier and a Hindu Indian photojournalist were killed.
'While the soldier died fighting the jihadis, press photographer Ashok Sodhi of the Daily Excelsior was shot dead when he attempted to take a picture of the house from which the jihadi assassins were firing.'

There. Let's hope that one day soon Infidel journalists and editors all over the world will be telling it like it is.

Once the two defeated and dead jihadis are identified, updates on this story could include terms like 'invader' and 'invaded' (if they turn out to be from outside India) or 'rebel' 'traitor' and 'treacherous' (if they turn out to be from the Muslim population inside India).

thank you dumbledoresarmy. For telling/teaching the real name of the thug.

Here in heart of Delhi is the Mini Saudi Arabia known as Quresh Nagar near Idgah Mosque( name derived from the 'Quraysh' tribe of Sauds ) better ( old )known as Qusab Pura. This is an outcome of Stealth Jihad..name/history changing etc. This area is full of Butchers/Kasais who are openly carrying out illegal slaughtering of thousands of Goats, Buffaloes etc and may be cows too daily since long time ( even during Mahatma Gandhi's time ! ). And mind you this is the 'Halal' type slaughtering where in the Butcher just cuts 'Half Throat' of the animal and leaves it to suffer and bleed and die. And mind you part of it is exported to Middle East too ( because it is halal )So much for this Religion of Peace i.e. ?!!. The place is open to investigation and verification and 'Google' the places names. Will you find any matching hypocrisy and cruelty anywhere too. May be in Middle East too.

No doubt all the weapons and material sent to pakistan to fight osmaa bin laden are no doubt being put to good use by the pakistani based terrorists against the hindu and sikh population of jummu and kashmir.

The present government in India consistently sends out the message of being a soft state, no doubt at the goading of communists in the governing coalition, ably supported by the pseudo-secular brigade. The previous Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) was repealed by this government to appease "peaceful" Islam. These morons will never learn that the only peace you will earn with Islam is the peace of the graveyard. Left to defend themselves, the Hindus are quite capable of harsh retribution as they did in the state of Gujarat. This the kind of lesson Muslim slimes need elsewhere before they come to senses. But the state jumps to defend the slimes as soon as Hindus retaliate. If Hindus want to defend themselves, they will have to find a Gujarat like solution to the Islamic menace. That is the only language these slimes understand. Crush them and cremate them with pigs!
