India: Suicide attack kills 42 Indian soldiers

(Lethpora) Hours after terrorists murdered 20 Iranian soldiers near the Pakistani/Iranian border, on the other side of Pakistani on the Indian border 42 soldiers were killed when a Pakistani funded terrorist drove a vehicle borne suicide bomb into a coach that was transporting them on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. The suicide bomber couldn’t have picked a worse time in which to strike as the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus was part of  a 78-vehicle convoy carrying 2,547 security personnel that was traveling from Jammu to Srinagar.


Pakistani funded terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohamed (JeM) have claimed responsibility for the attack and released a video clip of the suicide bomber, a ‘commander’ identified as Adil Ahmad Dar. Just what is it about Pakistanis and terrorism.


The attack— the worst terrorist attack in decades — will no doubt change India’s internal policy within kashmir and its relations with Pakistan. Why? Because the leader of JeM Maulana, Masood Azhar, is allowed by the Pakistani Government to operate with absolute impunity inside Pakistan. To that end India will no doubt carry out a military strike on Pakistani military assets just as it did in 2016 after Pakistani based terrorists struck an army base. Pakistan which has courted numerous terrorists groups since it was born in 1947, has denied any involvement. But the simple fact remains the Islamic penchant of being the victim will no longer wash with an increasingly nationalist Hindu India which will be undergoing a general election in 2 months’ time. The problem here  is both countries are nuclear armed nations

Now this is where it starts to get murky, India has requested an emergency UN security council meeting regards the attack and will no doubt retry to get  Masood Azhar added as a designated terrorist under the 1267 Sanctions Committee. However the last time they tried , China which uses Pakistani as its puppet in which to occupy India militarily vetoed that request, if they do so again the risk of India striking  Pakistan rises and all it will take is one Pakistani idiot with access to their nuclear arsenal in which to make the region glow.simply to regain his honour.
