(The Hizbul leader whose death I commented upon last week was Abdul Masood Tantray, not Abdul Majid Dar. I deeply regret my mistake. A poor phone line to Kashmir from abroad, when I was trying to verify facts, was responsible. 'Commander' Masood was originally a hardliner, but of late, disquiet at the 'foreign' takeover of the insurgency had also made him moderate his stand. My arguments therefore remain valid.)
