Ninth anniversary of the Parliament terrorist attack on Dec 13, 2001

Hang Afzal Guru:

The march, organised two days before the ninth anniversary of the terror attack, was led by All India Anti-Terrorist Front chairman M.S. Bitta. "The government has to show some seriousness while tackling terrorism. What is the war against terrorism when the incidents such as the Mumbai attack and Varanasi blast continue to happen?" Bitta asked while addressing the marchers at the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi district. Bitta said none of the family members of the attack victims would take part in a memorial service planned at Parliament House Dec 13 until the government took a concrete decision on Guru's hanging.

The Supreme Court upheld the capital punishment given to him for his role in the attack. Guru's wife, Tabassum, filed a mercy petition before the president after the apex court's verdict. As per the laid down procedure, the president sought the home ministry's views on the mercy petition in 2005. With the home ministry recommending that the plea be rejected, it is now up to the president to take a call on the fate of Guru, exercising her powers under the constitution.

Tributes to Parliament attack martyrs:

The victims included five Delhi Police personnel, a woman Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper, two parliament watch and ward staff and a gardener. A journalist who was injured died later. All five terrorists were shot dead. A year later, four accused, including Afzal Guru, who were arrested for the attack, were found guilty after a trial. Guru, who is said to be a Jaish-e-Mohammed militant, was the only accused to be awarded the death penalty.

The report says,

The Union Home Ministry has sanctioned the prosecution of Soofiya Madani . . .

Why should there be a sanction at all ? Just because NIA is a central government organization ? Where then is the independence of the NIA ?

Alert on 31 absconding terror suspects

The Centre has prepared a list of 31 absconding terror suspects, including 19 from the Indian Mujahideen (IM), and asked all the States and Union Territories to locate and arrest them.

Official sources said the Centre, in coordination with the States, was forming special teams to hunt them down. The suspects at large include members of the Jam-I-yyathul Ansarul Muslimeen (JIAM). The Centre also plans to coordinate the search with foreign countries.

Detailed dossiers about the IM and JIAM militants have been shared with a few Gulf countries, as intelligence inputs suggest that some of them holding Pakistani passports were currently based there. The sources said some of the countries had already begun surveillance on some suspects.

A brief translation of the Mathrubhumi report on the hunt for 31 elusive IM cadres
(Original report in Malayalam)
* 6 of the IM cadres are Malayalis and all from Kannur District (this district is noted for political violence mainly between BJP,RSS and CPI(M)).
* Joint operation planned and would involve R&AW,IB,NIA and the state police intelligence units.
* Kerala stands in 3rd place of maximum number of IM cadres in the list of 31. Top scorers are UP and Karnataka.
* 10 of the 31 seems to be holed up in India itself.
* Intelligence agencies believe that terrorist organisations are now entrenched deeply in Kerala.
* Names of the IM cadres from Kerala
1. Kochupeedikayil Sabeer @ Ayub, Marakkarkandi Taslima Manzil, Kannur
2. Muhammad Ashar (26), Purakkalyil house, Koluvallur PS limits, Thalassery, Kannur
3. PP Yusuf (24), Perintheleri Puthiyapurayil House, Srikantapuram, Kannur
4. Shafeeq (26), Palliyakath Fathima mathool Suharayil house near Malabar Residence hotel, Thavakkara
5. Raisal PA (27), Poyanadkuzhiyil peedika Chandroth Sakeena Manzil house, Mambaram
6. Mohammad Shameer "Fagnest", "Fagnest", Thane Muzhathadam.

With the names clearly listed out, I do have a gut feeling that the agencies pretty much know where they are (from perhaps IDs like passport, DLs) or atleast know whom to pick up to get the information.

sum wrote:Guess a few railway stations and bus stands will get busy very soon..

. Perhaps the detailed description of the names and addresses of the IM folks (at least the Keralite ones) makes me have the same feeling. A kind of way to inform the heroes and their relatives that every thing is now out in the open and it is time to stand at a remote corner in a bus stand or a railway station, and wait for the welcome party

This Rais Khan dude if I am not mistaken have finally fallen out with Teesta. And Teesta even filed a plea with Supreme Court to stop a statement from being taken. The SC said it would not do that, and her plea was withdrawn. But the sad part is that Teesta's incessant hollering about Gujarath without a shred of evidence have already done enough and more harm. Every people now just continue to take up Teesta's false claims and continue to parrot the same lies. So even if Teesta is arrested or tried for inciting racial hatred etc., it would not be of much use IMHO. How ever I would like to see the lies exposed at least after some time. Then need to go back to certain people (my acquaintances) who were whining about Gujarath for quite some time now.

Kerala turning green

December 18, 2010 2:31:51 AM

Islamism spreads its network of hate

The people of Kerala, known as ‘God’s Own Country’, have known that their peaceful State has been changing into a turbulent battlefield ever since the launch of a hunt for terrorists following the killing of four Malayalee militants at Kupwara in Jammu & Kashmir in October 2008. Since then, rare has been the day without further revelations about the worsening situation in Kerala. This week the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has confirmed fears of jihadis lying low in Kerala, waiting to strike after receiving instructions from their masters in Pakistan, following the publication of a list of 31 wanted terrorists among whom there are six Malayalees. The most important name on the last is that of KP Sabir, who is believed to be high on the LeT’s hierarchy. Sabir, according to information gathered by official agencies, was in constant contact with David Coleman Headley, the Chicago-based LeT operative involved with facilitating the 26/11 terrorist attack. The agencies have gathered information to the effect that Sabir had arranged local assistance for Tahawwur Hussein Rana, Headley’s associate, when he visited Kerala. Sabir’s two brothers are also part of the terror network and are accused of being involved with the Coimbatore Press Club bombing of 2002. Muhammad Azhar and PP Yusuf, two others on the list, are accused of being involved with the Kozhikode bombings. PA Raysal, the fourth among the Keralites on the list, is an accused in the Bangalore bombings.

All these Indian Mujahideen operatives belong to Kannur district, known as Kerala’s Marxist heartland; the LeT’s ‘South India Commander’, Thadiyantavide Nazeer, hails from this area. It is now almost certain that Kerala’s homegrown jihadis draw sustenance from their Gulf connections. Sabir’s brother, Shabeer, arrested in Mumbai last month, has disclosed that their hideouts in Dubai and other Gulf cities were used for planning terror strikes in India. According to the Kerala Police, many of the wanted men are holed up in the Gulf. Kerala has never been without communalists; the Moplah ‘revolt’ was the forerunner of today’s Islamist separatism and violent activism that manifests itself in the form of terrorism. The rapid ‘Arabisation’ of Kerala’s society, especially in the Muslim-dominated districts, has resulted in the birth and growth of violent Islamism. Needless to say, this does not augur well for the State. Competitive politics of pandering to communal elements and organisations in the hope of garnering Muslim votes has only strengthened those who seek salvation through death and destruction in the name of Islam. If the Congress is guilty of minorityism, so are the Communists who have shown no compunction in aligning with the likes of Madani. That, in a sense, is Kerala’s tragedy and India’s too.

Greyhounds eliminate Maoists at Andhra-Orissa border

The rebels belonged to the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), the military wing of the CPI (Maoist). According to reports, the PLGA members noticed one party of Greyhounds reaching the spot and, as they prepared to face the police, another party of Greyhounds, which pretended to head into the Orissa area returned to reach the meeting spot of the PLGA from behind. The two police parties pinned down the Maoists.

The death of four PLGA members is a big blow to the Maoists as they had appeared to have gained strength and tried to assert their superiority in some areas of Visakha Agency where they killed several people alleging them to be police informers, destroyed public and private property and coffee plantation of the Andhra Pradesh Forest Development Corporation in Balapam Panchayat recently. Two PLGA members were also reportedly taken into custody by the Greyhounds. Three weapons were also left behind by the Maoists.

NIA Files Charge-Sheet in Case Relating to Hijacking of a Tamil Nadu Government Bus

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) today filed a charge-sheet in Crime No.5/10 dated 22/01/2010, registered by it corresponding to FIR no. 469/05 dated 09.09.05 of Kalamassery Police Station, Ernakulam District, Kerala.

The allegations in brief were that on 9.9.2005 a Tamil Nadu Government Bus bearing number TN-01-6725 carrying passengers from Ernakulam, Kochi, Kerala going to Salem (Tamil Nadu) was hijacked by unknown accused persons by pointing a pistol and knife and after taking the bus to a lonely isolated place called Popmala, within the HMT colony, they set it on fire. The accused persons thereby displayed their hatred against the State which was the outcome of the conspiracy to wage war against the State.

During a thorough and exhaustive investigation conducted by the NIA, it was established that accused persons, namely : Umar Haji @ Naseer T (prime accused in the Bangalore blast cases and Eddakad case involving training of terrorists in Kashmir) , Halim, Bomb Ismail, Shafeeque , Sabir Buhari, Navas , Tajuddin, Nazar K, Anoop , Soofia Ma Adani, Umar Faroque, Abdul Rahim, Majid Parambai and Mohammad Sabir @ Ayub (total number -14) had entered into a criminal conspiracy to wage war against the State by criminal force against the decision of the State of Tamil Nadu to imprison their leader, Abdul Nassar Ma Adani (an under trial accused in judicial custody and involved in the Coimbatore blast case) and for putting pressure on the State of Tamil Nadu, so as to secure their leader’s release from Coimbatore Jail in Tamil Nadu and in furtherance of the said conspiracy they committed the crime.

Based on the evidence collected during investigation a prima facie case has been well established and the National Investigation Agency today submitted a Charge Sheet against the above noted accused persons [except accused Abdul Rahim who has since expired in an encounter in J & K] before the Special Court of NIA at Ernakulam after obtaining statutory sanction for prosecution from the competent authority of the Govt. of India.

I dont think a formal study was conducted on these lines. We would have to rely solely on the biographies of the major actors in this sad period of Indian history. Reading through the books/biographies of politicians, senior IAS and IPS officers during this period may give us some idea. But based on the person there would be inherent bias, prejudices etc.

This would remain a day-dream sir !!

. When Tippu Sultan rampaged the whole of Malabar region the only people who could save the Keralite Hindus were the British East India company (and their Army). When Moppilah Riots happened in 1921 again it was the British administration who took a strong decision that the riots have to be stopped and took very strong and decisive action. So if you ask my opinion, only a strong action from the Union/Central Government of India could bring in any major change. If you leave Kerala with the Keralites, the chances are pretty much dim.

Where is the strong action by Union of India in Varanasi? Congress party is still protecting terrorists there.
Where is the strong action by Union of India in Mumbai attacks? Congress is acting like spokesperson of terrorists and trying to blame hindu terrorists for the attacks, What more proof is required that congress is with terrorists?

Indians have had enough of this empty boast of strong action by congress. Congress wont arrest terrorists and terrorists wont stop attacking us. So its better to arm ourselves.

Court records cop's statement in UP serial blasts case http://www.zeenews.com/news675389.html

Faizabad: A local court on Saturday recorded the statement of a police official in connection with the near simultaneous serial blasts that ripped through court premises in Lucknow, Varanasi and Faizabad on November 23, 2007.

Additional District Judge Laxmi Kant Shukla recorded the statement of Inspector S N Singh on the report lodged by him in connection with the blasts as the then SHO of Faizabad city Kotwali in the presence of the four arrested accused who were produced in court amid tight security.

Khalid Mujahid, Tariq Qazmi, Sajjadur Rahman and Akhtar, accused of carrying out the explosions, had been arrested in December, 2008.

The terror blasts which had rocked court complexes in Lucknow, Varanasi and Faizabad had killed 15 persons including four lawyers and left over 80 injured.

Proceedings in this case began to be held in Faizabad central jail after a court order to this effect following failure of the police to provide security to the lawyers defending the accused in the case.

Al Qaeda links with Indian jehadis?

Leaked cables from the US diplomats, quoted two senior Indian officials showing concerns that 'India is becoming more central to Al Qaeda's agenda.' The cable, dated May 26, 2006, is based on the meeting between US diplomats and
Additional Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs K C Singh and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) Joint Secretary Sharad Kumar. Both the Indian officials voiced concern that India is becoming more prominent on the Al Qaeda radar.

Atif Ameen was killed in Batla House encounter on September 19, 2008. He is alleged to have masterminded Jaipur, Delhi, Ahmedabad and other urban bombings between 2005 and 2008.
According to Shahzad, Atif claimed before him that he visited Afghanistan through Khalid who is a resident of Azamgarh and activist of the banned Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).

Alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Shahzad Ahmad had told interrogators after his arrest early in 2010 that Atif Ameen, who headed of IM's northern module, has claimed about his ties with Al Qaeda.

Immediately after his arrest(early 2010), Shahzad had warned that IM is planning some operation in Varanasi and the city's famous ghats might be targeted.

Shahzad told intelligence officials that at the time of joining Atif Ameen's group he was given a book 'Milestone' written by the Sayyid Qutb who was executed in Egypt in 1966 on the charges of plotting a regime change.

Qutb's writings have greatly influenced Osama Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri. Osama is known to have attended lectures of Qutb's younger brother Muhammad Qutb who had settled in Saudi Arab.

Apart from Shahzad Ahmad, Indian intelligence agencies also suspect Al Qaeda's involvement in India through Ilyas Kashmiri. Former Pakistani army major Abdul Rehman alias Pasha, who joined LeT after leaving army was in regular touch with Amir Raza Khan, Karachi based top operative of IM and handler of Atif Ameen, the alleged IM kingpin.
Pasha was also in touch with David Coleman Headley, who helped LeT in selecting targets for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Headley has told Indian investigators that he had formed a great bond with Pasha. It was Pasha who took Headley to meet Ilyas Kashmiri in Waziristan. Ilyas Kashmiri used to relay all his messages to Headley through Pasha. Kashmiri is now considered number three in Al Qaeda after Bin Laden and Zawahiri.

A curious thing : if the major IM kingpins are from Kerala, then there is a severe problem of justification. By the so-far projected reasons for Islamist extremism, do the Muslims then face lack of development in communist Kerala, did they not get education and literacy in literacy boasting Kerala, and what historical trauma did they receive under communists in Kerala?

Or is it now to be assumed that they radicalized under "action-at-a-distance" mechanism - by which perceptions of trauma, lack of development and education anywhere in the world on Muslims can radicalize Kerala muslims?

Why should that not be expected of other faiths also?

Congress leader Salman Khurshid – Union Minister for Minority Affairs and Corporate Affairs is also the defence lawyer for banned SIMI terrorists and appeled against it's ban which Supreme Court rejected it later

He is also instrumental in making the Govt of India introduce the Enemy Property Bill, which gives the pre-partition owners of immovable properties and assets, rights to the properties and assets as against the law from 1968 which handed over the properties to the Govt of India.
Salman Khurshid, is also the counsel for the Raja of Mahmudabad, MA Mohammad Khan, who crossed to Pakistan at the time of partition, in the apex court. He also led a delegation of Muslim MPs demanding a larger and wider scope for enemy property claims from across the border.

The budget for Minority affairs get doubled every year ever since xxxxx is in post. His next agenda is to implement Rangnatha Commission report to provide Nation wide job reservation to Muslims.

NE Watch:

Some BIG news from BD on the ULFA front: Antu Chawdang and Pradip Chetia have been arrested on the 13th Dec. So whatever is left behind of the ULFA apparatus is now: Poresh Borua, Bijoy Chinese, Jiban Moran, Drishti Rajkhowa and Nayan Medhi + N cadres that follow them.

The following are now out on bail (in the order in which they were released): Pradeep Gogoi, Mithinga Daimary, Pranati Deka, Bhimkanta Burhagohain (aka Mama), and Raju Baruah. Arabinda Rajkhowa would be the next top jailed ULFA leader to walk out of prison on bail. And if Rajkhowa gets bail, it is then the chance for Sasha Choudhury and Chitraban Hazarika. The last one+ year of SHW rule in BD has seen many folks get magically transported to the border areas, so one should be thankful of that and pray for more. And one would expect the folks concerned to be MORE generous in pumping cash to BD, onwards. Plus, the 71 trials are really nice icing on the cake, the action by Saka babu or the croc tears of BKZ in front of the camera aint. Hope the bustards rot in hell for things done and undone, said and unsaid. Anyway, back to the ULFA folks who want Anup Chetia to be brought from BD to "square" the circle (or so they claim). There is already enough quorum for the Central Committee of ULFA to meet and make binding decisions even without Chetia and Borua. It seems like Borua will come overboard at a point where the truce is nailed. PC Haldar is running the show, and it is too close to election time now. Either way, Gogoi or Mahanta, the chances of nailing a truce seem close. Unless of course, like our famous crikkit team, we grab defeat from the jaws of victory and let the folks run away minus nailing an iron-clad peace agreement.

Meanwhile, in Nagaland, the never-ending process between the Khaplang faction and the Swu-Muivah faction continues with RS Pandey, the interlocutor there. With Anthony Shimray in jail, I am wondering what pawn the Centre would now unleash. I am tired of the NSCN morons by now, and I am sure most people in the Centre are, the whinings about the "firssht" and oldest insurgent outfit notwithstanding. In Manipur, (you must now be aware that) Sana Yaima of UNLF has been declared arrested, after endless days of drama with even the BJP joining the Habeus corpus show. But the other Manipur groups (of which there are more than 20) are all solid and firing at will. AFSPA (which is diluted around Imphal city) wont get diluted elsewhere in Manipur, which is reasonably fair news so far for those who are going there to protect and die. In Meghalaya, the process with HNLC is ongoing now that the Julius Dorphang part of HNLC is out, all the while AVNC is proscribed causing some takleef in the Garo Hills. As with NSCN, both are talking and extorting simultaneously. But the newest extortionist outfit on the RISE is the ex-cop Champion Marak Sangma-led GNLA. Overnight, it has become bigger and more powerful than what the DHD used to do in the Dima Hasao area. Elsewhere in Assam, George Boro (Basumatary) of NDFB will join his colleague Ranjan Daimary in jail, while the NC Hills scam continues to invite rhetoric like nowhere else, but Assam. Sometimes Mahanta saab makes people wonder about the nationalist in him, but as only Wasbir Hussain can tear Mahantaji a new one, we all know where it will end. That leaves us with NLFT and ATTF, somehow the Manik Sarkar government has been more pro-active in bringing the tribals overboard than before. So there is still hope that Tripura will see better days. The connectivity stuff at Akhaura and Sabroom is going full steam ahead.

Some wikileak mentioned that MMS government does not consider the NE as the number 1 issue these days. There is a good enough reason, as the above stuff will "justify." Now, if the NRC update could begin, things will be fair. But I assure you, it wont, irrespective of whether Mahanta comes back or Gogoi magically wins the elections (or plays with EVM as some folks in the GDF would claim). Welcome to reality.
