Indian metros Under Scanner

Spondita — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:46:01 +0000

Its time to tighten security. The metros are under alert. Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata have gone under scanner after rumours and hints about the presence of LeT militants loomed over the cities. Apparently, the terror groups have already installed their men for suicide bombings across the metros.

Sources have confirmed that trained suicide squads have been sneaked into India to carry out these suicide bombings and terror activities. This comes few weeks after India silently observed the infamous 26/11 anniversary.

All the coastal areas across the country are being repeatedly searched for possible threats.

Pak Officers Played Part- Headley

Spondita — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:06:13 +0000

After FBI’s revelation of David COleman Headley being one of the voice commanders present in LeT control room when Mumbai 26/11 attack took place last year, comes another crashing exposure that has long since been a prick to the Indian security system. FBI has apparently confirmed that a “section of serving Pakistan army officers” have been secretly serving chosen terror groups such as LeT and JeM against India. This confirmation was conveyed to India when a special FBI team visited India to interrogate suspects.

Headley a.k.a Daood Gilani has confessed that these officers have been working with Lashkar on ‘Karachi project’ against India that as a major objective, works in recruiting Indian Muslims to spread Jihad in India.These young men after being trained Pakistani army officials return to India and breed terror as home-spurn and thus, save Pakistan from any involvement.

Many fugitive and a number of absconding terrorists, agencies have found out — Aamir Raza Khan, Mufti Sufi Patangiya and Rasool Parti and the remnants of Shahid Bilal gang from Hyderabad — have played an instrumental part in recruiting and training youth to become Jihadis. On same ground has the Indian Mujahideen been designed.

When Terror Struck India

Spondita — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:24:37 +0000

Only 45 minutes more and 26th November, 2008 will be once again, a chunk of history, terrible, painful but real, for yet another year till perhaps its another 26th November of another year. How does it feel to live then for another 365 days in a world that has no god?

Well, I don’t know. Neither can you say or perhaps those who weren’t in the heat of the scene. These scenes that unfolded in a span of 72 hours, had Taj Mahal Hotel, Oberoi Hotel and Nariman House as its prime backdrops. For music there was a cacophony of bullets and cries. Human Cries. Of Pain, of terror, of loss. And there were many characters. Most of them good and innocent. And there were ten men. Men in black. With hi-tech gadgets, cellphones and weapons. They were the unforgettable mediators of the incredible nights. They were the Jihadis who painted Mumbai red. Blood red.

Several lost their lives. Several were dead before they could utter any word at all. Or perhaps see death’s face properly. While survivors cluttered towards empty terror-ridden exits, mumbai came alive, nervous, nude and shaken. People ran on streets, on stations. Helping injured. Bodies lay scattered. Someone’s head all smeared, someone paralysed. Several talked of politics and politicians when the rage called Jihaad was busy sweeping Mumbai security off its wobbly floors. But the sentiment was one. It was unique, it was singular. It was “Indian.”

When a young girl ran on the street towards an injured woman, she did not enquire whether the woman buried under blood was a hindu, a jew, a muslim or a christian. All she bothered then was, whether she was alive. When Oberoi’s chief chef decided on the face of death to defy a terrorist’s order to burn the Oberoi restaurant down, he did not think of his mother or father who heard when the bullets tore their sons down. He thought of his duty, and above all, he thought of his country.

There’s no conclusion to my article. No conclusion to the terror nights that shook the very complacency of Indian security infrastructure. No conclusion to the little heavy stories of those unlucky ones who survived the terror. And absolutely no conclusion to the question- If this world has no god, can man survive at all?

Pak Duo Held Guilty In Aiding Militants

Spondita — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:07:09 +0000

In a new twist to the historic 26/11 attacks last year on the country’s commercial capital, a father-son duo has been arrested from the northern Italian city of Brescia on charges of aiding the financial transactionsrequired to ensure smooth phone communications between the terrorists and the militants’ high commanders during the carnage. The duo has a finance based agency.

Identified by the police as Mohammad Yaqub Janjua, 60, and Aamer Yaqub Janjua, 31, they have been charged of assisting serious anti-social activities that includes international terrorism as the main highlight.

Interestingly, the money transfers have been funded to another Pakistani citizen who has apparently never visited Italy before. The Italian Police has closely watching and interrogating after being warned by India authorities and the FBI. Off late, most of the money transfers have been en route Italy itself. Stefano Fonzi, the head of anti-terror police in Brescia, said that Italian police began the probe in December last year.

Further probing can conclude whether these two have any links with David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, the two arrested suspected LeT militants.
