Suicice Bomber in Kashmir

Last post, I swear. One guess as to what certain Religion of Irony dominates in Kasmir? Here's a hint: the MSM likes to call their terrorists militants. ABC News:

A suicide car bomber rammed into an army convoy in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Saturday, triggering an explosion that left four people dead and 22 wounded, the army said.

Two soldiers, a civilian and the bomber were killed in the attack on a highway connecting Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu-Kashmir state, with the frontier town of Uri, an army garrison, said Lt. Col. V. K. Batra.

Twelve soldiers and 10 civilians were injured in the blast.

Shortly after the attack, a local news agency in Srinagar said it received a telephone call from the Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group claiming responsibility for the attack. The Current News Service said the caller identified himself as Abu Jindal and claimed to be a spokesman for the Pakistan-based militant group.

The Jaish-e-Mohammed is one of more than a dozen Islamic militant groups fighting for Kashmir's independence from India or its merger with neighboring Pakistan. The group, also known as the "Army of Mohammed" is considered by the United States to be a terrorist group.

More than 65,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the conflict over Kashmir since 1989.

2 I just realized I should have made it clear we are dealing with a tiny minority of activist Presbyterians. Sorry about that.
