SRINAGAR: Omar Abdullah the Chief minister of Kashmir has strongly condemned the killing of two teenage girls by Lashkar-e-Taiba. The two sisters were gunned down after Lashkar men forced them out of their home in Sopore.

The killings triggered panic in the area and police and security forces officers rushed to the spot.

Superintendent of police Sopore Altaf Khan 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 informed 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.

On Twitter Omar said: “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.
