Brutalities and killings of innocent persons

Cold-blooded murder of innocent persons is despicable enough, but the thirst of the terrorists in Kashmir for blood is not satisfied and their objective for creating absolute terror is not met by instant killing. The killing must therefore be accompanied by unimaginable brutality or the act of killing itself must be dastartdly or heinous.....
