Far from the drama in the assembly over Afzal Guru, another story was being written in the hills of Kupwara in blood. For three days, a firefight raged on freezing heights. The final toll was nine killed - four of them securitymen and five militants of the Pakistani group, Jaish-e-Mohammed. But these deaths did not cause even a ripple in Kashmir as MLAs went through convulsions on Guru's clemency hanging. They did not waste a minute on the four securitymen who died.
