Heart touching scene

The scene of a totally bewildered and innocent 3-year-old boy crying next to the bloodied body of his grandfather having fallen to terrorists bullets in Kashmir, was very heart touching, to say the least. The security forces did a smart job of first creating sort of a barricade of their vehicles around the spot and then whisking the child to safety. Before the soldiers called the little one to safety, the boy did not know what to do, and even sat on his dead grandfather's chest for a few minutes, all the time sobbing. The picture of the little one sitting next to the grandfather's body not knowing what to do should move anybody and everybody to tears. The ugly incident proves once again that the terrorists are heartless people and think nothing before firing bullets and hurling bombs on innocent civilians. This incident will surely trigger a fresh surge of anger against terror in Kashmir.
