Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir`s teen braveheart Rukhsana, who had killed a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander last month and grabbed national headlines for her show of courage, came under attack again when terrorists fired grenades at her village home. Luckily, no one was present inside the house at the time.

`Rifle grenades were fired at the house and the police post in Kalsi village in Thannaa Mandi area of Rajouri late on Friday night,` Rajouri Senior Superintendent of Police Shafaqat Watali said.

Watali said the rifle grenades exploded without causing any loss. Rukhsana, 18, and her family had been shifted to a safe place in Rajouri as an attack was feared. Police had received the intercepts of the militants planning an attack on Rukhsana's house.

`But it (the attack) does speak of their intentions to take revenge from the girl, who killed the LeT militant Abu Osama," Watali said.

Vigil in the village has been stepped up and police have assured the people that they would be protected.

She fought LeT militants alone!

Rukhsana shot to the limelight after she hit back at terrorists who had barged into her house on September 27. Top LeT commander Abu Osama was attacked with an axe and shot at with his own rifle by Rukhsana and her brother Aijaz. She also fired at the two other militants, who were injured but managed to escape.

What a shame.The congress and jehadi supported media houses do not seem to be concerned and there is no live debate or discussion or news coverage even of this barbarian attack by jehadis on a brave woman who fought and killed dreaded terrorist and his gang alone.Why BJP,RSS&VHP not coming in support of this brave girl? Paper Tigers as usual.Ruksana MUST be awarded BHarat Ratna and she is really modern godess Durga.All BJP ruled states and Hindus in general must congratulate and honour this girl with gifts and awards for her bravery and for her fight like Godess Durga for eliminating the demon terrorist and for driving away the other barbarian terrorists.Muslims all over the world&all Open&Un-brain-washed citizens of india&world MUST know that in islam women are meant to BE just objects for sexual pleasure & are meant to be baby-producing machines& Nothing Else.Women are NOT allowed entry in most mosques&they are buried after death just as animals¬hing else.

bloody idiots, thats what the media are. they gave the girl national coverage . they made her a scapegoat for news calling her brave and this and that. now probably when she passes away it ll be more news for them. they could have kept her away from the glare of the cameras. u cant expect a poor woman not to take her chance and take the limelight for the sake of dough. stupid television channels. i remember how Times now kept on showing her with a gun. no wonder they are firing Diwali missiles at her house. poor thing. i pity her. good luck and God bless her.
