Girl to the Rescue

Militants often demand food and lodging in nearby villages.
When they forced their way into Miss Kausar’s home, her father Noor Mohammad refused their demands and was attacked.
His daughter was hiding under a bed when she heard him crying as the gunmen thrashed him with sticks. According to police, she ran towards her father’s attacker and struck him with an axe. As he collapsed, she snatched his AK47 and shot him dead.
She also shot and wounded another militant as he made his escape.
Supt Shafqat Watali said Miss Kausar’s reaction was “a rude shock” for the militants. “Normally they get king-like treatment but this was totally unexpected,” he said.
Miss Kausar said she had never fired an assault rifle before but had seen it in films and could not stand by while her father was being hurt. “I couldn’t bear my father’s humiliation. If I’d failed to kill him, they would have killed us,” she said.
Survival instincts! But even beyond that what Rukhsana, an Indian farmer’s daughter did for her family and the state is way significant. She nabbed and killed a terrorist.
The dead terrorist is Uzafa Shah, a wanted Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba group commander operating in the area for the last few years — the same group that carried out the terrorist attack in Mumbai last November.

May she be safe.
This lady is a hero! Praying that God and the authorities keep her safe.
Way to go Miss Kausar…………..
Good for her! Hopefully, she and her family aren’t marked for retaliation. But there comes a point when enough is enough. Obviously, this young woman had hit that wall.
Amazing how the only instruction she’d had in firing that AK47 was through watching films. But attacking armed men with an axe? That take guts!
Very gutsy indeed. The article says she is being given money awards from the Indian govt. Retaliation is a definite possibility but I hope she gets protection or relocation or some such thing.
Wow, moving story.
On a side-note, whether we send more troops or not, I’m not sure how we “win” in Afghanistan with things the way they are in Pakistan.
but I hope she gets protection or relocation or some such thing.
Yes I do too what a courageous yound woman!
I pray her family are kept safe.

Rukhsana is my hero(ine)!
This is the only way the religious madmen will ever be defeated: when the local populace shoots them dead on sight. These monsters have been feasting on local populations for decades, only when they are dead - killed by their victims - will it end.
That said, I will be surprised if Rukhsana and her family survive the week. We should rally to protect them bit we won’t.
Craig: I wonder if the same can be said of the vicious street gangs that seem to be taking over every city in the U. S.? Interesting to me that the feds are asking local police to teach citizens how to spot signs that someone might be a foreign terrorist. No programs for spotting domestic terrorists.
Also interesting that other black leaders went to Chicago’s South Side to that young man’s funeral, but it’s the president’s home area and we haven’t heard a word from the White House.
Obama’s been so busy painting white people as the bad guys who hurt blacks, I think he doesn’t dare touch these stories.
I love this story. What’s the bounty on Osama Bin Laden? The US should give a chunk of it to this young woman and her family for killing a terrorist.
You go girl!
Very brave young lady. May God bless for her courage.

As it was in Iran during the faux-elections, it was a young woman who stood up to the terrorists. Her courage might be a lesson to the wuss who occupied the Oval Office and to the Democrats who went with the guy instead of the more ballsy and experienced woman.
i hope she kept the AK47. the Indian government should arm their citizen if known terriorist are lurking around.
wonderful story of bravery.
Now that IS Girl Power! Yes, I hope she remains safe.
The young girl was put in a position that ended in the taking of a life. I have no regrets that the home invasion turned out badly for the perps, just that her innocence is gone.
PM317, I am somewhat confused. The story states she was an Indian national, yet the attakers where Pakistani?
I take it then, that India is combatting Pakistani nationals running wild in the hood? Wha’s up with that?
If it is in India, why would they “well recieved?”
Teak, these are Pakistani insurgents/terrorists from the group called Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) (the same group that carried out the Mumbai attack last November). They routinely infiltrate the Line of Control and terrorize the Indian population in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. They get “king-like” treatment out of fear, I think.
Pm317, thanks for that. Lashkar-e-Taiba, I thought was conducting ops out of Pakistan but didn’t realize they had such a foot hold with in Indian land.
Next weeks homework.
.
Yep. It is a lop-sided battle. Pakistan can do this death by thousand cuts kind of ops using terrorist groups on the Indian side of the LoC but for India to retaliate it will have to go for conventional war with Pakistan (because they don’t do terrorism) which will never happen. So the local population in and around the LoC bear the brunt of Pakistan’s activities.
You’re right about the lost innocence for that young woman. I hope she feels empowered by this than get depressed by the ugliness of it.
I was thinking of her Karma. Tough one to deal with.
They routinely infiltrate the Line of Control and terrorize the Indian population in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
UGH so tragic what a way to live with the fear these terrorists could be crashing into your home at anytime.
Yes I hope too her family is strong and she comes through this stronger and wiser.
It is amazing to think that With Syria and Iran frustrating Iraq and Israel, Iran’s and (by proxy) Russia’s messing’ with the ‘Stans and Pakistan messing with Afghanistan and India, how much like a checkerboard it is.
There are not two nations in a row, geographically, that are not running low grade wars and in some cases blantent underwiting of groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hezzbollah.
To many wild cards in this deck for someone to play who lacks experience and the historical context to ACT.
