On Sunday, heavily-armed militants stormed an army base in Indian-administered Kashmir near the Line of Control (LoC) with territory administered by Pakistan, killing 17 soldiers. The four gunmen were killed after a gunfight, the Indian army said.

Indian army officials told reporters the attack at the brigade headquarters in Uri looks to have been the work of Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed.

...

The Line of Control, a de-facto border between the two countries separating Kashmir, is one of the most heavily militarised frontiers in the world and the incident has sparked fears of a military escalation.

The incident has come at a time when Indian-administered, Muslim-majority Kashmir is already in the midst of some of the worst unrest seen in years.

Yes, Kashmir is one of the most fertile regions in the world, and truly beautiful. Of course, Islam can not let beauty be, they have to make it ugly for their demon god.

India has held onto Kashmir since independence. Wonder why they don’t annex it since both sides have nukes.

Or as Don Imus put it, the Subcontinent is a case of “dotheads and ragheads with warheads”.

Anyway, better that Kashmir should stay in Indian hands. They won’t screw it up like Pakistan, among the worst of Islamic s***hole states.
