Omar condemns killing of sisters in Sopore
SRINAGAR: Chief minister Omar Abdullah has strongly condemned the killing of two teenaged sisters by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants. The two were gunned down after Lashkar men forced them out of their home in Sopore, triggering panic in the area.
Reacting to the incident, the chief minister wrote on Twitter: "If you can't condemn the killing of these two girls irrespective of your political beliefs and do so without qualifying it, then shame on you."
"May Allah grant peace to the souls..., their family the strength to deal with this tragedy and us the strength to learn from it," he said.
Altaf Khan, superintendent of police, Sopore, said: "Two of the killers have been identified by police, they belong to the LeT. A manhunt has been launched to nab them."
A senior police officer said heavily armed guerrillas entered a house in the Muslim Peer locality of the town Monday evening and forced out the two sisters, Kulsuma, 19, and Yasmin, 17.
"They opened fire at the two sisters, killing them on the spot and later fled," the officer said.
The killings triggered panic in the area and police and security forces officers rushed to the spot.
