They are all logical deductions based on snippets of information and one could build a few that can show with reasonable confidence that the folks belonged to a group which is highly active in the region.
My point is that you have rejected a supposition and replaced it with another. Neither is backed with proof.. So if 1st is not good as a title, niether is second. However to my earlier question, do all posts quoting a headline go thru this test??
There are multiple groups active in the region, to merely point to one particular group without any evidence smacks of a propaganda effort.
A broad conclusion that those killed are insurgents fighting Indian control, without any determination of which group, of J&K is the most logical and rational conclusion
As for 'all posts', I already explained that when this thread moved beyond the headline of the one incident the thread was initially based on, that headline became inappropriate - after all, the discussion over the original 'six LeT militants killed' is long over, with additional encounters being posted and discussed.
And yes, when other threads acquire such dimensions of moving beyond the original title, moderators often change the titles/merge threads etc.
In case of railway track, how would they ensure that the civilian train does not meet with an accident or worse is not blown off?? Convinient logic?? May be TTP is also blowing off buildings and the people who get killed are just Collateral damage .. eh?
In most wars, infrastructure, civilian or military, has been attacked - the US has did it in Afghanistan and Iraq - so why only hold the Kashmiri insurgents feet to the fire?
Recall what the Allies did to the city of Dresden in WWII, or Hiroshima and Nagasaki for that matter.
On 3rd part, if the civilian deaths were expected to begin with, then Yes... Just like the grenade attacks...??
In the Baitullah Mehsud killing, reports from US sources quoting US and Pakistani intelligence officials stated that the footage from the targeting UAV indicated his wife was present with other individuals (physician?). S-2 argued that 'associating with the enemy', or even being in their proximity, makes one the enemy, and that therefore the deliberate killing of these non-combatants is 'justified' in US eyes. Perhaps one should then hold the world's sole Super Power accountable before blaming Kashmiri insurgents.
How do you ascertain they belong to those groups?? Do they carry Id cards?? Or are you saying there is no human being present in that area who is not fighting PA?
No other groups have indicated any interest in fighting the Pakistani State in those regions, so yes, it can be claimed with reasonable certainty that those fighting the PA and attacking civilians and non-civilians belong to the aforementioned groups. Also, the fact that in most tribal agencies the PA has evacuated the locals means most of those remaining are terrorists fighting the State.
