As I keep saying it's impossible for criminals to be successful with the consistency they do without significant in-house support for their cause.. Total 19 bomb has been neutered so far , things could have been much worse...

This is really frustrating. How long can this mindless killing go on ? Noone seems to know what to do

"Preliminary forensic findings have revealed that the bomb was made of ammonium nitrate along with ball bearings and other types of shrapnel to maximize its impact," said Rao. Sources hinted that an emulsifying agent may have been added to make the impact even more deadly. Indeed, investigators maintained that the bombs were wilfully planted at such locations as would cause maximum loss of lives. At the Lumbini auditorium, the bomb was placed under plastic chairs. At Gokul Chat it was under an ice cream stall table. "The bombs were planted at such places which would inflict the most damage," noted a senior police officer. This indicates a distinct shift in the intentions of the terrorists. "At the Mecca mosque blast the bomb that exploded had been kept under a marble slab that was six inches wide and luckily absorbed 90 per cent of its impact. An un-exploded bomb that was recovered from the same mosque-compound was kept on walls near the wajukhana, away from the main gathering of faithful offering prayers," noted an investigator. The intention was to avoid killing too many people.

So in absence of effective anti-terror laws like POTA, government has achieved some milestone. News is that we are one of the leading victims of terrorism, in terms of death tolls we are second only to Iraq. Most of these are Islamic terrorism. now, hail p-sec Islamic sympathisers.:confused_smile: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Indias_terror_death_toll_second_only_to_Iraq/articleshow/2312796.cms

Me too. I sometimes wish the attack on the parliament a few years ago, would have led to the kidnapping or killing of a few politicians. Wonder if they would still be playing their appeasement games then!:confused_smile:

I would have given them benefit of doubt had they been consistent on no POTA like theory.. But it seems them have exactly the same thing with different name MCOCA in maharashtra. Obviously this boruhaha over pOTA is driven more by politics.. And a nation which still plays politics over the terrorism related death is doomed.. Incidentally similar legislation was denied to Gujrat state body too..

You forgot to update everyone with latest on this DR? Well since you didnt bother here let me do the honours:

Explosive factory owner given clean chit THE Nagpur police questioned Amin Sohail (35), proprietor of Amin Explosives, yesterday. Amin Explosive’s label was found on the explosives defused by Hyderabad police on Saturday. Preliminary investigations revealed that Sohail had all government licenses for selling emulsion like explosives for quarry work. Sohail usually sold the explosive to select buyers, who were license holders. “We suspect someone from the supply chain may have leaked the content, which is a matter of investigation,†Additional Commissioner of police (Crime) Dr B K Upadhyay, added.

http://chalomumbai.com/news/city/2007/august/163058.htm But wait it keeps better.

Cops zero in on explosives firm By U. SUDHAKAR REDDY Hyderabad, Aug. 27: A licensed dealer who bought a huge consignment of explosives from Amin Explosives Ltd at Nagpur has come under the scanner of the Special Investigation Team probing Saturday's twin explosions, which killed 41 people in Hyderabad. Rajasree Explosives of Bhongir, about 50 km from here, had bought "Neo Gel 90", a slurry of ammonium nitrate, from the Nagpur firm. This is the same explosive material used in Saturday's bombings. Contacted over the phone, Nagpur commissioner of police Satyapal Singh told this correspondent: "Two consignments of Neo Gel of around nine tonnes were sent to Rajasree Chemicals and Balaji Enterprises since July this year from Amin Explosives." Investigations by this newspaper revealed the police had, prior to the blasts, written to the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (Peso) to cancel the licence of Rajasree Explosives, which had been booked in previous cases of violation of rules. No action has so far been taken.

http://www.asianage.com/presentation/leftnavigation/news/top-story/cops-zero-in-on-explosives-firm.aspx In other words the Muslim company you were ranting about has been cleared by the state cops themselves while it is actually a Hindu dealer who is now being looked at suspiciously. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: xxxxx

So u have been holed in for three days not a word suddenly pop up.. Anyway keep checking this space and get ur appetitesup for some crow-dish, u will need that.... I hope u will be around till the investigation gets somewhere.. And yes if that hindu dealer is hand-in-globe he deserves exactlyt the same treatment but if history of local support is anything to go by you will have to hide again pretty soon

So u have been holed in for three days not a word suddenly pop up..

:hysterical::hysterical: bhai mere dont get pi$$ed off if you do not have a life, I am always missing from here over weekend, or atleast mostly. Maybe you should go out too sometimes!

Anyway keep checking this space and get ur appetitesup for some crow-dish, u will need that.... I hope u will be around till the investigation gets somewhere..

Errr so what happened now DR? I can see only 2 situations: 1) You did read what I quoted up above but selectively chose not to put it here. In which case your credibility is right under the question. 2) You did not read what I quoted up above. In which case you should atleast thank me. Why are you getting mad at me for your own incompetence?

And yes if that hindu dealer is hand-in-globe he deserves exactlyt the same treatment but if history of local support is anything to go by you will have to hide again pretty soon

So why not a new thread with your usual, "As I keep saying it's impossible for criminals to be successful with the consistency they do without significant in-house" rhetoric eh? Only this time you should blame Hindus. I have given you the link as well...go ahead show that you are fair and balanced..else you run the risk of being called unfair and unbalanced. :haha: xxx

http://www.ibnlive.com/news/man-from-assam-held-old-terror-hand-suspect/47606-3.html Delhi/ Hyderabad: Police in Hyderabad on Tuesday arrested a man suspected to be involved in the two bomb blasts in the city on Saturday. Mohammed Abdullah, who is from Assam, was taken into custody after residents of Bowenpalli in Secunderabad caught him under “suspicious circumstances”, said an IANS report. Abdullah had injuries on his head and hands. Police are questioning him to ascertain whether he has any links with the blasts which killed 43 people. Preliminary investigations indicated that the bombs were planted minutes before they exploded and police have not ruled out the possibility of the bomb planters receiving injuries. Investigators suspect Bangladesh based terror outfit Harkat-ul-Jehad-i-Islami (HUJI) and its Karachi-based Indian operations chief Shahid Bilal are involved in the blasts. Believed to be the kingpin in the twin blast that rocked Hyderbad, Bilal is suspected to be the Indian Operations chief of Bangladesh based extremist group HUJI. Bilal (also known as Mohd Abdul Sahil) is also a key suspect in the Mecca Masjid blasts in Hyderabad on May 18, the Varanasi blast and the attack on the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. Bilal's links with extremists groups go back quite a few years. He went to Saudi Arabia in 2002-2003 where he received training from his maternal uncle, a then senior functionary of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). He has worked closely with Assadullah Munir-ul-Islam, the HUJI’s chief commander in Dhaka. Bilal is now believed to be residing in Karachi. Police are questioning citizens of Bangladesh and Pakistan overstaying in Hyderabad. T

After so much blood-bath politics is still on over terror investigation.. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/W...ow/2316269.cms TOI looked into the top strikes by terrorists in recent years and found that all these factors have combined to make India’s terror-fighting record so poor. In fact, apart from the 1993 Bombay blasts, the attack on Parliament in 2001 and the Coimbatore blasts in 1998, there have been no convictions in any of the other cases. Here’s why this isn’t so surprising. The purpose of looking at past cases is not so much an exercise in breast-beating but to try and see how a concerted attack can be mounted against those who kill or maim innocents with the aim of bringing down the number of terror deaths in India. After all, the world will respect Indian lives if only we make it plain that Indian lives are not cheap. Let’s first examine the probe into the Mecca Masjid blast in Hyderabad on May 18. The Andhra Pradesh police had registered two cases relating to the incident immediately after the blast. But when it had to transfer the case to the CBI, it handed over only half the probe — the part dealing with the explosion. The other part — recovery of unexploded bomb from the site which actually holds the clues — remained with the state police. Why so, remains a mystery. The result: the CBI has so far not been able to zero in on any individual or outfit. It had come out with the sketches and photographs of suspects, but had to face major embarrassment when one of the suspects turned out to be a Delhi-based yoga teacher with no terror link at all. In fact, the Mecca Masjid blast might have been averted and precious lives saved had the local authorities heeded a warning about an attack in Hyderabad by intelligence agencies. Armed with information obtained from one Sheikh Naeem who was arrested near Petrapole on the Bangladesh border in March, the agencies had approached Andhra authorities for permission to look for the foot soldiers who had set up base in the Walled City of Hyderabad. The request was refused by authorities who were wary of protests. The warning came true in May when Mecca mosque was targeted. But the terrorist attack in May and the police firing that followed made the authorities even more reluctant to allow the agencies — CBI as well as the state police — to look for members of the sleeper cells waiting for the command to strike. The Mecca Masjid case is symptomatic of a general reluctance, often for political reasons, to crack down on terror operatives. It’s not that the government is dealing with terrorism with kid gloves, but its approach towards post-incident exercises — investigation and security — raises a big question mark over its conduct. In Malegaon, too, there was a delay in handing over the probe to CBI. The CBI could re-register the case only after three months of the actual blast which took place in September last year. As a result, the agency is relying mainly on what the Maharashtra Police could get during the probe. Sleuths are still not sure as to when they would be able to file the final chargesheet. Probe of other major incidents which took place during 2005-07 is being done by the state police while the Centre finds itself in a comfortable position taking solace from the fact that it cannot do anything as "law and order is a state subject" and that India does not have a concept of 'federal crime' having inter-state ramification. Interestingly, those at the Centre who try to escape their responsibilities by citing the constraints of constitutional provisions forget that these incidents create a huge internal security problem and internal security is very much the responsibility of the Union government. This makes one suspect that 'politics' rather than people’s security often determines decisions. The strategy to deal with Naxalites, who have been creating havoc in as many as 13 states across the country, is also stuck in the Centre-state political equations. The BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh has become the Naxals' hot-bed reporting more than 50% of the overall killings (388 out of 678 in 2006; 262 out of 446 in 2007) in the country in the past 20 months. Incidentally, the situation in Orissa and Bihar has also deteriorated over the past couple of years. Is this because the Centre ignores the states which are being ruled by non-Congress parties?

Keep reading lurker .............. Another crow-dish for you sir Terror’s new face Babu Bhai sits in UP jail, joins dots from Dhaka to Hyderabad via Delhi Shishir Gupta Shahid Bilal, prime accused in Saturday’s blasts, worked with this man who claims he delivered RDX nationwide, even dropped 20 kg of it in Delhi weeks before the Sarojini Nagar blasts; for 3 months, security agencies have been sitting on this startling confession of Indian national Babu Bhai linked to Bangladesh’s Harkat-ul-Jehad-e-Islami. Now Andhra police are waking up HYDERABAD, LUCKNOW, AUGUST 27: Forty eight hours after the twin blasts in Hyderabad, investigators are looking at questioning a 40-year-old born in a village in West Bengal, who is now sitting in a Lucknow jail. Going by his startling interrogation statement after he was arrested this June by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), a copy of which has been obtained by The Indian Express, Jalaluddin Mullah, alias Babu Bhai, has admitted to being a key piece in a jigsaw of terror that stretches from Bangladesh to Pakistan, goes via terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, touches New Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi, Bijnore and Unnao in UP and now even Hyderabad. Not only has Babu Bhai confessed to making several deliveries of explosives, including RDX, across the country since 2004, he has claimed, according to his interrogation, of having delivered 20 kg of RDX to an operative in New Delhi barely weeks before the Sarojini Nagar blasts that killed 59 people. A key member of the Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jehad-e-Islami (HUJI), Babu Bhai's claims have so far been gathering dust but now are the subject of renewed investigation. Top Andhra police officials have confirmed to The Indian Express that a police team is expected to land in Lucknow this week to take Babu Bhai into custody. If the police want him to help them join the dots, they could start with his 17-page statement itself. For, the fact is that both Babu Bhai and Shahid Bilal, the prime accused in Hyderabad's twin blasts, were working for Munir-ul-Islam alias Assadullah, a HUJI commander in Dhaka and who runs a madrasa there. Significantly, Assadullah's name also figures in the interrogation of Waliullah, a Phoolpur cleric with HUJI linkages, one of the main accused in the March 2006 Sankatmochan blasts in Varanasi. Says Ajit Doval, former Director, Intelligence Bureau: "The assault from the east and entrenchment in the hinterland are two disturbing trends on the terrorist front. What is lesser known and more serious is HUJI's intimate and old Al-Qaeda linkages. Now that Al Qaeda the world over is in the business of outsourcing terror through franchise, this organisation should figure high on the security radar." Consider the following revelations Babu Bhai made about his "deliveries" of explosives and training of terrorists: l 40 kg of RDX in Varanasi in early 2004: He carried this on board Jammu Tawi Express from Howrah to Varanasi and gave it to one "Raju" the next day outside the station. STF verified his claim that he stayed in the name of Amanullah Mandal (name on his fake driving licence) in Hotel Sagar at Gowdhulia chowk. Investigators now believe that this RDX may have been used in the February 2005 blasts at Dashashwamegha Ghat, which killed nine people. • 40 kg of RDX in Mumbai in June-July 2004: Babu Bhai claims he delivered this to one "Ravi" outside the Victoria Terminus station. Although Babu Bhai has described "Ravi", he is untraced. Agencies are not clear whether this explosive was used in Mumbai train blasts of 2006. • 20 kg of explosives in Delhi in August-September 2005, weeks before the Sarojini Nagar blasts: The timing is critical as this was weeks before October 29, 2005 blasts in Delhi. Babu Bhai's report says that 10 days before the beginning of Ramzaan (August-September 2005) he delivered 20 kg of RDX to one "Guru alias Rocky" outside Jama Masjid Gate No 1. He adds he stayed with his friend Qadir in Turkman gate for two days before returning to Kolkata. • He sent at least 23 youths, from Bijnore, Unnao and 24 Parganas in West Bengal, for arms and explosive training to Pakistan via Bangladesh. Babu Bhai claims he received weapons and explosive training in Kotli in PoK in April-May 2001 along with jihadis from Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa and Pakistan. His interrogation report reveals that Babu Bhai was inducted into terror by Asif Raza Khan, the main accused in Partho Burman kidnapping case in Kolkata and later killed by Gujarat police in 2001. Before the UP STF picked him, Babu Bhai was being handled by his younger brother Amir Raza Khan, who is now in Pakistan; Qamar, a Bihari settled in Dhaka's Mirpur Colony, and the younger brother of a Bangladesh minister by the name of Miraj. What this shows, experts say, is a new network of terror where the brains trust may have links across the border, in Pakistan and Bangaldesh, but where locals are increasingly being used to plan, plot and conduct the strikes

Crow-pasanda dish Jakaat-money at work http://www.ibnlive.com/news/ngos-charities-new-face-of-terror-in-hyderabad/47511-3-1.html The source of these funds is Dubai -- the very city which sent the biggest consignment of fake currency in recent memory to Hyderabad through a suspected Dawood aide. Rushing to assure that investigations are underway, the Hyderabad Police Commissioner has said, "One UAE citizen has been arrested as have four Hyderabadis.'' Meanwhile, intelligence officials say more counterfeiters are waiting offshore:

• Rs 1.73 crore of fake Indian currency was seized from Kuala Lampur.
• And Rs 2.63 crore has been seized from Colombo

Just how much of the money that has been smuggled into Hyderabad is meant for funding terror is not clear. What's clear though is the fact that with a haul of Rs 2.36 crores, Hyderabad leads from the front amongst southern cities in the fake currency racket, followed by Chennai and Bangalore. Terror groups indoctrinated in the Jamiat philosophy have been operating sleeper cells for the past nine years from Hyderabad alone and that's not just because Hyderabad represents brand India, but because terrorists want Hyderabad along with Junagadh and Kashmir to secede from the Indian state.

It's now or never....Indians have to make-up their mind now, give-up their dhimmitude, p-secism, PCism and force GOI to deal with this disease of Islamic terror with iron fist. In previous thread, I posted a statistic which shows that India have lost more people in terror than any country other than Iraq. This is a shameful statistic. The political dilemma faced in fighting Islamist terror is often like --- how to zero-in Islamists and not Islam. As always, after such a terrorist attack when Islamists are blamed-- so called innocent Muslims (sometims genuinely) claim victimization, with their usual ready made arguement that it is just because of a "few misguided individuals of the type that you find in every religion" . For this reason we have a situation in which you have Islamic countries who retain the right to be as extremist as they like. They harbor the worst Islamic bigit as fellow muslims. When those fellow muslims, commit terrorist acts in another country, the excuse is "a few misguided individuals of the type that you find in every religion" So you cannot blame Islam or Muslims even though it is clear that Islam and Muslims have a direct and demonstrable link with terrorism. I see only one way out of this logjam. And that is to blame islam for every such terrorist attack and say in no uncertain terms that Islam and all Muslims in a country that harbors terrorists shoulder some of the responsibility for nurturing this sort of murderous hatred. "But what of innocent Muslims"? one might ask. I am sorry to say that unless innocent Muslims are rudely woken up to see what is being done by their Muslim brethren in the name of Islam nothing is going to change. If blaming innocent Muslims will help wake them up, so be it. Let me explain further But then people will ask (as politicians and self-apologists do) "If you blame innocent Muslims you are playing into the extremists who want you do do that and alienate the ordinary Muslims. We are therefore asked to shut up and not blame Islam when Islam is to blame. In fact that tactic is wrong. It is necessary to put Islam and all Muslims (innocent or not) into a fait accompli situation. Islam and groups of Muslims are certainly at fault for most terrorist deaths. If speaking this truth turns Muslims into extremists - it only proves the same point. The only way to disprove it is to put pressure on those parts of the ummah who support terror, by whatever way we can

If there ever was an article given to eyewash then here it is.. Mind you Kuldip Naiyar wrote this at the eve of Taslima-episode now enjoy.. Had hoti hai apologetics ki bhai.. This clown is going and on about shiv sena in an article written on Taslima-beating.. yes he is the most prominent psec stalwart of the candle light burner crowd at wagah border Between The Lines / Kuldip Nayar One feels stumped when one finds that Muslim fundamentalists are taking a leaf out of the BJP book of hatred and hostility. Their number is small. But when they are able to issue fatwas (cheaper by the dozen these days) in favour of their wrong actions, they cause serious concern. (Apparently BJP has taught Jihadist to do what they do yes BJP's wings are operational all over the world from middle east to north africa to Uk to USA, and yes these hateful people's number is less, god knows what will happne when number adds up in kuldip's books. That was opening lines of an article supposed to castigate taslima episode ) The recent instance is that of the attack on Bangladeshi novelist Taslima Nasreen in Hyderabad. Members of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) who came to her book launch attacked her. The organisers protected her at the risk of their own life. Then the MIM issued a fatwa in no time at all, as if it was ready beforehand. The best of works are those that challenge religion and its holistic attitude. What the MIM members did — physically attacking Taslima — smacks of fascism. One need not agree with the author, but she must have her right to say what she wants to say. This is what differentiates a democratic set-up from a theocratic or dictatorial state. What the MIM members exhibited was deep-rooted religious prejudice. I hope this virus does not spread. Liberals from both communities need to work on such elements and check them. Still, criticising any religion is not in order, because its followers feel hurt. But one cannot stop writers from exercising their freedom of expression. So I was sorry to watch on television Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Salman Khurshid advocating that authors should avoid writing on religion. This amounts to defending the MIM. Both are top leaders. They should have joined issue with the fundamentalists. Extremists among Hindus and Muslims have failed to realise that our tryst with destiny is to build a secular state. This is not dependent on whether Pakistan is Islamic or not. The goal of the freedom struggle was to build a secular state. And that was what Jawaharlal Nehru did. So I feel disappointed that even after 60 years of independence we have not sorted out the Hindu-Muslim question. I thought that, after independence, the pluralism which the British had meticulously destroyed would reassert itself. It is clear that this has not taken place. The nation must introspect to find out why. One reason is that the guilty get away without any punishment. Leaders like L.K. Advani do not help when they say that the case against the rioters in Mumbai should not be reopened. If the accused in the Mumbai blasts could be tried and punished even after 15 years, why not those who killed scores of Muslims in the wake of the Babri Masjid demolition in December 1992? The Mumbai bomb blasts of 1993, as the Justice B.N. Srikrishna Inquiry Commission put it, were a "cause and effect" occurrence. ( If u have been lulled into thinking otherwise then again let me remind you this article came on the eve of taslima episode) The Shiv Sena has threatened to organise a "Hindu backlash" if the government reopens the rioting cases. The then chief minister, Manohar Joshi has warned that communal amity in Maharashtra will be destroyed if the past is revived. But what does one do when out of 13,000 cases, only 800-odd are taken up? Obviously, the others were not pursued because of communal considerations. But if things are left as they are, the government will be seen coddling the communal elements. The Sena’s hysterical outcry is an admission of guilt, because the Srikrishna Commission has held it guilty. The report, now nine years old, has said, "There is no doubt the Shiv Sena and Shiv Sainiks took the lead in organising (the) attack on Muslims and their properties under the guidance of several bodies of the Shiv Sena." Justice Srikrishna has specifically mentioned Sena chief Bal Thackeray "who, like a veteran general, commanded the loyal Shiv Sainiks to retaliate by organising attacks against Muslims." When the report was published, the Sena-BJP combine was ruling Maharashtra and Atal Behari Vajpayee was leading the BJP coalition at the Centre. Both governments rejected the report, with the Sena characterising it as "pro-Muslim." Today, the Congress rules Maharashtra as also the Centre. Both have been in power for three odd years. The question is, why didn’t they, in spite of knowing about BJP inaction, move against the politicians and police officials indicted in the report? Even now, the action taken is cursory in nature because of the Sena’s threats. The Mumbai police has established a cell to re-examine the cases that have been closed. But when the police itself is involved, how can a fair probe be possible? By dragging their feet, the Maharashtra and the Central governments have proved that there is no rule of law, no Constitutional right of equal citizenship. The guilty, whatever be their religion, have to be punished. However wayward India’s democratic system, there has to be justice. Instances like the non-implementation of the Srikrishna report give the impression that when it comes to taking action against Muslims, the government is firm, but when it has to act against Hindus, it is lax. Unfortunately, this reading is confirmed when one sees that the recommendations made by various commissions since independence have seldom been implemented. Action is still awaited on the reports on riots at Jabalpur (1961), Ranchi (1967), Bhiwandi (1970), Jamshedpur (1979), Meerut (1982) and Bhagalpur (1989). These were major riots where the inquiry commissions said that politicians and police officials were involved. In these reports, Hindu extremists were found to be the instigators. The police were blamed in every riot for their connivance. Muslim fundamentalists, too, were involved in some cases. But politicians of both communities remained behind the scenes. None of them got any punishment. The action against the police and other officials was a simple departmental inquiry which ended with a warning, censure or demotion. Politicians and criminals have got so intertwined that when it comes to prosecution or punishment, it depends on political convenience, not legal advice. Invariably, those who get scot-free are Hindus. Take Gujarat. It is a standing shame. No action has been taken against chief minister Narendra Modi keeping in mind the political considerations. Around 20,000 Muslims are still refugees, with no means of livelihood and with practically no future. Even the belated action being taken against those who are responsible for the massacre is not really moving forward. The government is doing its best to shield the politicians and officials who were party to the pogrom. This seems to have become a prestige issue for the BJP. Or is Gujarat a dress rehearsal for the party’s hidden agenda? When organisations like the Shiv Sena, feeding on hatred, continue to pick on Muslims and when the MIM MLAs at Hyderabad are not willing to apologise, it is clear that the muck of religion has thickly coated our society. It cannot be cleaned easily. The minimum that the government can do is to see that the political parties do not append the name of religion to their outfits.

b@$%^&* like Kuldips, Setalvads, Arun-Dhotis, Burkha Dutts, Rajdips, Yechuris, Karats and all their fellow candle light kissers of wagah border needs to be spanked first....may be one more bomb ripping apart their apologetic arses will relieve India. Otherwise, we have no chance of getting rid of this blood thristy Islamic terror. Without declaring Islam as a violent ideology and openly condemning and cracking down like Israel and USA do when they are attacked, we are doomed to endure more and more bomb blasts and explosions in our buses, trains, hotels, temple, eating places, parks and elsewhere. It's shameful after such incidents media proudly boasts resilience of Indians -- to hide cowardiceness of their p-sec masters.
