The Farmer’s Daughter
No, not this farmer’s daughter,
But Rukhsana Kausar, this farmer’s daughter,
Rukhsana Kausar, 21, was with her parents and brother in Jammu and Kashmir when three gunmen, believed to be Pakistani militants, forced their way in and demanded food and beds for the night.Their house in Shahdra Sharief, Rajouri district, is about 20 miles from the ceasefire line between Indian and Pakistani forces.
It is close to dense forests known as hiding places for fighters from the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, which carried out the Mumbai terrorist attack last November.
Militants often demand food and lodging in nearby villages.
When they forced their way into Miss Kausar’s home, her father Noor Mohammad refused their demands and was attacked.
His daughter was hiding under a bed when she heard him crying as the gunmen thrashed him with sticks. According to police, she ran towards her father’s attacker and struck him with an axe. As he collapsed, she snatched his AK47 and shot him dead.
She also shot and wounded another militant as he made his escape.
Interestingly, the article doesn’t call the attacker the “t” word until the third paragraph from the bottom,
She may also receive a £4,000 reward if, as police believe, the dead terrorist is confirmed as Uzafa Shah, a wanted Pakistani LeT commander who had been active in the area for the past four years.
At least they used the “t” word twice in the title.
The article also forgets to mention that the Pakistani LeT is an Islamist Jihadi group.

This is poetic, especially given the masochism ingrained in Islam. Little known fact, her last name Kausar translated into English as Palin.

Something about this story just doesn’t sound right. Either the daughter knew how to use the AK-47 or the idiot who was shot was standing there with the safety off while beating her father with a stick. Neither possibility likely.
