Massacre at Wandhama
Koshur Samachar
March 1998
The felons came with the fox's smile.
The trusting but targetted sleepy innocents served them Kashmiri customary tea.
In a minute the young and old were razed to dust and ash.
Remains of the massacred mass of Wandhama being
laid out in the open for count and identification.
Their "mission" accomplished in the name of "Allah", the
marauders walked back in leisure to their kind of revelry
and celebration. On the way they destroyed a temple - "a house
of God" (above) and a house of the victims (below) to stamp their
"Victory" for the world to witness.
Not even the little ones were spared. Two sucklings butchered
at point blank range.
The inhuman torture and slaughter had left mutilated or charred
bodies beyond recognition. The few identifiable are featured here.
The slain had agony and disbelief on their faces. Some women
appeared to have achieved peace and calm after deliverance from the
fear of the devil.
