Srinagar: In another case of mistaken identity the Indian Army has killed a wrong person claiming he was a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba divisional commander Abu Usman alias Adnan.

hmm for me whther he is from kashmir or jammu or any other parts of india doesnt matter.......
a innocent civilian killed... this is a very serious issue.....

 

[Patrician]

This is awful.

The army should adequately compensate the families of those killed and issue an unconditional apology.

Army looses faith then and may leave real terrorist.
By the way they must have inquired if he was unarmed.

It is a serious issue...but no one is going to support militants bcoz of this and ask for azaadi.

We are proud Indians..not some money hungry Kashmiris who throw stones for 200rs in the name of azaadi.

How many commoners do this daily in a terror-struck region? I don't think a lot of common people would be having this. Although it can be false intel. False intel happens even to the most advanced militaries around the world including US, European, Russian and Israeli militaries as well. Sad but a bitter truth attacked to war on militancy.
