Summary:
SRINAGAR: Less than 24 hours after journalist Shujaat Bukhari and his two personal security officers were gunned down in Lal Chowk area in the heart of Srinagar, motorcycle-borne terrorists struck again in the city. "One could see that the entire town and Srinagar city loved the affable man," senior journalist Bashir Manzar told TOI. "In the recent past, even Mufti Mohammad Sayeed 's funeral did not draw as many mourners," a Kreeri resident said. "Most people were asking 'why was he killed' in whispers instead of discussing and debating Kashmir politics at the funeral. A close friend of Bukhari, Manzar said there were so many mourners that he could not even reach Bukhari's family members to express his condolences..
