Jammu and Kashmir: Muslim drives explosive-laden car into bus full of Indian soldiers, murdering at least 40

Feb 14, 2019 12:14 pm By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“At least 40 Indian soldiers killed in Kashmir terror attack,” Straits Times, February 14, 2019:

SRINAGAR, INDIA (BLOOMBERG, AFP) – At least 40 Indian security force personnel were killed yesterday and many more injured in the most serious terrorist attack during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure.

They died when an improvised explosive device went off as a convoy of military vehicles drove on a highway outside Srinagar, the main city of Jammu and Kashmir, Asian News International (ANI) reported.

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Deputy Inspector-General M. Dhinakaran confirmed at least one bus carrying 39 passengers was attacked as the convoy – which consisted of 77 vehicles and about 2,500 personnel – travelled through Pulwama district, 35 kilometers outside Srinagar.

Investigations are continuing into the exact number of dead and injured, he said.

CRPF spokesman Sanjay Kumar said that the explosives were inside a car, while local media reports said the explosive-laden vehicle was driven into the convoy.

“It was a powerful explosion. The explosive was car-borne,” officer Kumar told Agence France-Presse.

Unconfirmed photos showed the charred remains of at least one vehicle littered across the highway, alongside blue military buses as black smoke billowed upwards.

Local media reports said the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed Islamist group had claimed responsibility.

A spokesman for the group said the “suicide attack” was carried out by a militant called Aadil Ahmad, alias Waqas Commando, in a statement sent to local newspapers….

    India has shown of lot of restraint, but I’m hopeful this will trigger the anti-terrorist drive unlike anything anyone ever has seen before. The Indian soldiers fury is at peak and I hope Allah has his virgin assembly line well tuned and oiled and ready to work non-stop. Getém boys, slaughter them like pigs.

    This is terrible, but we can only hope that these terrorist attacks by Muslims against every non-Muslim country will eventually unite the world to subdue them.

      You would imagine after nearly 35,000 terrorist attacks, that enough would be enough. Strangely, it is not.

      You are saying truth.
      But we are ruled by idiots .
      After more than 70 thousand terrorist attacks they still say tettorism has no religion

    Do these young men really believe that their act of mass murder and suicide will elevate their status with God? Or, are they guilt tripped into killing themselves by older men who would NEVER willingly follow the same dead end path? Is it Islam’s perverse version of religious idealism that makes killing oneself and a lot of non-Muslims appear to be the best overall decision as a slave of Allah? Would a loving God consider them innocent if they truly believed they were acting in his name? I’m not talking about the Islamists who kill themselves because they are angry at other humans, I’m talking about the ones who really believe what their imam’s tell them about getting to Paradise, and also have favorite camels. Perhaps they are creating vast amounts of bad karma, or are finding themselves in a different hell than they were expecting.

    But, from what I’ve read, ISIS may have driven a sizable number of Muslims to Christianity by demonstrating what Islam in practice really looks like and feels like. Liberals still don’t get it and don’t want to hear from these people because they can’t say to them, “How do you know what Islam teaches, you’re not a Muslim scholar” It’s a bind, usually liberals land on the side of the Islamists and not the apostates. Don’t want your rich friends deplatforming you from their next party.

    Watch terrorist very closely before an incident . A proverb “An apple a day keep the doctor away”. And a solution to stop terrorism in India is a model “Hindu revolution for a particular period”. All Indian state should be under the direct administration of Hindus .
