| Lashkar admits: We did it | | Killing of Teenage girls | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Feb 7: Lashkar-e-Taiba, which initially denied its involvement in the killing of two teenage sisters in Sopore town of Baramulla district last week, has claimed the responsibility now.
Posters appeared in the Sopore town, 52 kilometers from here, claiming that Lashkar militants killed Arifa and Akhtar, alleging the duo of working as "informers" for the security forces. Laskhar-e-Taiba killed the girls because not only was their behavior improper but they were also involved in a heinous crime of being informers," the posters read.
However, the veracity of the posters could not be ascertained. The message was written on the letter head of "Mujahedeen Lashkar-e-Taiba Jammu Kashmir". Arifa and Akhtar, daughters of Ghulam Nabi Dar, were shot dead at around 9 p.m. last week on Monday at Muslim Peer locality in Sopore town.
Locals said that more than ten "unidentified gunmen" had arrived that night and cordoned off the locality, a claim which the police are denying. Posters, which were written in Urdu language, claimed that the girls were given a prior warning "to mend their ways, which they didn't".
Police said two local militants namely Wasim Ganaie and Muzaffar Naikoo along with a Pakistani militant had shot dead the two girls. Killing drew widespread condemnation and even the spokesman of Lashkar, Abdullah Ghaznavi, denounced the action and sought to put blame on security forces. |
