A hardline Islamic women's separatist group said yesterday it had begun raiding brothels in revolt-hit Indian Kashmir to stamp out "adultery and the flesh-trade."
Aasiya Andrabi, head of the separatist Dukhtaran-e-Milat, or Daughters of Faith, announced over the weekend the formation of all-women squads to raid brothels in the Muslim-majority state .
"We will expose those indulging in immoral activities," Andrabi, a fiery speaker who has in the past voiced admiration for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, told the Current News Agency.
