According to him, people riding on around 30-40 motor-bikes intercepted us. They all were coming from Chilas side along with weapons like Kalashnikovs, Pistols and Sticks.

However, the SP Chilas along with some 20 – 25 police personnel were escorting the convoy.

“As we approached “Goner-Daas”, the people riding the bikes who had “over-taken” the convoy had blocked the KKH with big boulders and stones.

“Exactly at the same time, “teenagers” in Goner Farm and surroundings, had gathered in large number to block the road.

“A large number of people mostly teenagers, trapped us from all sides leaving no way to escape.

“The SP of Chilas along with the available police personnel tried to convince the militants and boys to let the convoy pass. In the meanwhile, a militant threw a (big) stone and smashed the forehead of the SP. He fell down on the ground and another militant opened fire leaving the SP critically injured. One of the Police officer then shot a bullet in the air.

“Then the militants and the boys started throwing stones on the vehicles. They broke all the window glasses with sticks and stones. Earlier Police didn’t allow “the passengers to come out of the Vehicles but when they were getting injured from glasses and stones, came out hastily. Women, old aged and children were crying loudly and were trying to escape behind boulders.”

According to Pamir Times aforesaid report, then the militants started “identification parade”.

Furthermore, they asked all the convoy members were to keep their national identity cards in their hands. The militants then regrouped as “teams” to engage all passengers.

The first unfortunate individual who was shot dead was a young boy of probably 17-19 years of age. When the militants killed him, they chanted “Allah o Akbar” and clapped repeatedly.

The boy wearing Pent-shirt, fell on the ground and died. While sensing the danger, two young men ran towards the river Indus. Since there was some distance between the road and the river, they were madly running down the slop. The militants and the boys saw them and threw stones after them (they were in hundreds) opened fire and instantly killed them.

Again, they chanted Allah o Akbar. However, two people reached and threw themselves in the river.

Four militants held one boy by his arms and legs and threw him from top of the height towards the river. One man of around 50-60 years of age was stoned to death.

The militants then blazed Mashabrum and K2 buses and Coasters along with the luggage. They also pushed three vehicles into the river.

According to the Pamir Times report’s filer, two different team inspected them. They checked IDs and asked to read “SHASH KALIMA.”

“One of our colleagues couldn’t remember the Sixth Kalima (as he was very scared), he was asked to take off his shirt. When they didn’t find the sign of “ZANJIR ZANI” on his back, they let him go. Two more boys of our group were also checked to see the signs on their back.

“During the whole massacre, some people continuously tried to stop the militants and boys. They tried to tell them that you are troubling and killing innocent people. But they all were charged to kill and destruct.”

Moreover, Pamir Times report had it the bloodshed continued for 2 long hours at the site. The author of the report and some 150 people had waited for 3 more hours at the houses in surrounding.

At around 4:30 P.M some government officials, QRF and FC came at the site and we were accompanied by law enforcement agencies and Ulema towards Gilgit. Since the Road was blocked in Jaglot, they waited for hours on KKH. After negotiations by Ulema and government officials, we were able to reach Gilgit early in the morning.
