Your courage and dedication are inspiring. Do not wear out Ike. Permit yourself the arms of your family; this is where the truth is. I know that truth tellers get targeted and I am in awe of your stand. But the main thing to keep uppermost in your mind is the love.... and within your extended family worldwide who read your words, this too is true: for every hater who views you through eyes of evil, you have hundreds out here who love you. I pray you and your family are kept from harm.

Death Toll From Attack In Kashmir Rises To 31 SRINAGAR, India (AP)--In the worst attack in Indian-held Kashmir in two years, at least 31 people were killed and 75 wounded Monday when suspected Muslim militants set off a car bomb outside the state legislature, then rushed into the building and opened fire, police said. The gunbattle between the assailants and security forces ended after about seven hours, with the death of two rebel gunmen. Most of the casualties were the victims of the car bomb, including the driver. The Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to The Associated Press in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu-Kashmir state. The group was launched by a Pakistani radical leader, Massood Azhar -one of three men freed from Indian jails in 1999 in exchange for a hijacked Indian plane and its passengers that were flown to Afghanistan. Police said the assault would have been much worse if the assailants had realized that the lawmakers have been meeting in a nearby building since the state legislature was damaged in a fire. The 100 lower-ranking employees still working in the legislature, including secretaries and clerks, escaped unharmed during the gunbattle, police said. The death toll in the attack was the highest in Jammu-Kashmir since 1999, when 35 Hindus were massacred by militants while on a pilgrimage toward a cave they regard holy in the mountains in the state. The rebels brought the hijacked vehicle to the assembly building and blew it up at around 2 p.m. (0830 GMT) in Srinagar, the summer capital. Although the driver was killed, the two other gunmen dressed in police uniforms left the vehicle before the blast and rushed into the legislature. Firing their guns and throwing hand grenades, they engaged in a battle with security forces, said R.K. Jala, the superintendent of police. Pakistan condemned Monday's attack. "This act of terrorism in Srinagar is especially reprehensible as it appears to be aimed at maligning the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
