“At least seven Hindu pilgrims have been killed and 19 others wounded after the bus they were traveling in became caught in crossfire in Indian administered Kashmir, police have confirmed.”

This is the opening paragraph of an article published by CNN International (@CNNi) which actually aimed at covering the Amarnath Yatra terror attacks. What should be phrased as a dastardly terror attack against Amarnath Pilgrims in Jammu & Kashmir, was handled with kid gloves by CNN International.

Apart from the above opening paragraph, which made this brutal Terrorist attack on Amarnath pilgrims look like a misguided fire between two parties, CNN has specifically mentioned that this attack took place in Indian administered Kashmir. Hence this creates a well concealed thought process to International readers that a part of Kashmir rightfully belongs to Pakistan.

Seven pilgrims on the Amarnath Yatra – six of them women – were killed on July 10th in a terror attack in Anantnag at about 8:30 pm. At least 19 people were injured in one the worst terror strikes in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorists open fired on the pilgrims while returning from the holy shrine and they were caught unaware by this sudden attack.

The terror attack on Amarnath yatra pilgrims was carried out by the Lashkar-e-Taiba and was masterminded by a Pakistani terrorist Ismail. This has been confirmed by Jammu and Kashmir’s inspector general of police Muneer Khan to ANI.

With so many facts out in the open and several members of the International community condemning Lashkar-e-Taiba for such brutal attacks, what was the need for CNN to be so kind to these terrorists? Will CNN retract such a shameful article and apologize to the people of India for such despicable twisting of facts? Please provide your opinion as comments.
