Lol, look at the source IRNA. And look who they have contacted. Wonder why they had to contact him in the first place?

Interesting someone in UP reported receiving a call from Iran asking if he would plant bombs for 2 crores.
Yusuf Iran has been trying hard to get into monkey business with the Shia clerics and Shia populace in Lucknow.Lucknow is famous for its Shia-Sunni clashes

But Asif Mohd. Khan is an Indian and that too a MLA. No ?

Even bigger than he being a Muslim leader, he is an elected MLA from Delhi. What will our allies (US/Israel) think ?

US admin does not have to be bothered if an Indian MLA shouts "Pakistan Zindabad" and waves the Pakistani national flag in parliament. It is we who should be bothered by it.

AFP: Death toll rises to 20 after Mumbai attacks



MUMBAI — The death toll from last week's triple bomb blasts in the Indian city of Mumbai has risen to 20 after one of the wounded died in hospital, a senior medical official said on Tuesday.

The dean of the state-run J.J. Hospital, T.P. Lahane, said that a 45-year-old man passed away on Tuesday morning, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

Lahane was not immediately available for comment when contacted by AFP.

The simultaneous rush-hour blasts last Wednesday in the diamond trading hub and jewellery quarter of south Mumbai as well as a third district of the city left more than 130 people wounded.

Two people died in hospital over the weekend.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which were the first in India's financial and entertainment capital since the November 2008 Islamist militant strikes that killed 166.

Suspicion has fallen on domestic militants the Indian Mujahideen, which has said it was behind a string of bomb attacks across India in 2008, including in the capital New Delhi.

Police have said they are making headway and have "good leads" on the bombings, which involved the detonation of home-made ammonium nitrate bombs left in metallic containers in the crowded streets.

Gujarat, Mumbai ATS squads combing Dangs forests

Inputs received that some Mumbai blasts suspects could be hiding there.

The Gujarat and Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squads have jointly launched an intensive search in the Dangs forests in south Gujarat following intelligence inputs that some terrorists involved in the July 13 Mumbai serial blasts could be hiding there.

The police sources said on Wednesday that so far the joint operation had not yielded result, but the police believed that the thick Dangs forests on the Gujarat-Maharashtra border could be an ideal place for terrorists to hide.

The Dangs forests came on the ATS radars after information obtained from the arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative, Abu Faisal, now lodged in a jail in Madhya Pradesh, said youths from West Bengal and Gujarat were possibly used for the Mumbai blasts. The sources said the police checked on the six names — given by Abu Faisal — said to have been entrusted with the task and found all of them still missing from their addresses in West Bengal and Gujarat.

The tip-off about Abu Faisal was obtained from the noted IM operative Danish Riyaz, who is in the custody of the Gujarat police following his arrest at the Vadodara railway station on June 21. Riyaz, who worked as a software engineer in Hyderabad, reportedly told a joint interrogation team that information about the Mumbai serial blasts could be available from Abu Faisal, following which the police teams went to Madhya Pradesh to question Faisal.

The information revealed by Riyaz had also enabled the police to arrest the noted IM activist, Haroon, in Kolkata on Monday. The 26-year-old Haroon, who owned a cloth business in Kolkata, had met Riyaz several times in Hyderabad and his hometown Ranchi. The sources said Haroon's e-mail accounts had shown that he was in touch with some Taliban leaders and could be involved in the Mumbai blasts.

But isn't it Haram for the Talibans to be using technology invented by Kafirs ? No ?

PC slams Pak, says blaming non-state actors for terror no excuse

In a veiled attack on Pakistan, India on Saturday said that no country can escape its responsibility by blaming non-state actors for terrorist activities emanating from its soil. As long as the territory of a country is used by non-state actors to prepare for terror attacks, that country owes a legal and moral responsibility to its neighbours and to the world to suppress those non-state actors and bring them to justice, home minister P Chidambaram said.
Keeping hands on hands & just blaming Pak while waiting for another attack is no excuse either... :lol:

Nepal police arrest Mumbai blasts suspect

A Nepali man, believed to be in his early 40s, has been arrested from Kathmandu on the suspicion that he had links to this month's serial blasts in India's business capital Mumbai which killed 24 people and injured nearly 150, Nepal's official media said.

Mohammad Zahir, a resident of Sarlahi district in Nepal's Terai plains near the Indian border, was arrested by Nepal Police's anti-terrorism cell on the basis of intelligence reports, the state-run Gorkhapatra daily reported Tuesday.

The man was said to have been conducting suspicious activities from his rented apartment in Baluwatar, an upmarket area in the capital where theofficial residence of the prime minister is located.

He was found to have had phone conversations about the Mumbai blasts as well as sent text messages on his mobile phone, the daily said.


It said Zahir was arrested last week but the news was kept secret. Currently, he is in police custody.

There were no immediate comments from police authorities.

Three serial blasts rocked Mumbai July 13, causing death and destruction in Zaveri Bazaar, a jewellery hub, the Opera House business district and Dadar.

A terrorist group, the Indian Mujahideen, is suspected to have been behind the attacks.

With India and Nepal sharing an open border, Indian authorities have often claimed that several groups planning terror attacks in Indian cities had links in Nepal, either smuggling in firearms and hit men from the Himalayan state or providing logistical support from there.

Every one Knows who is behind the blast. No point in cutting the leaves instead of root.punishing them with unacceptabled damage is the only solution.Locally there is an urgent need of laws similar or stronger than POTA which can punish all involved in organised crimes (Terr activities) to death sentence without delay. With present Government with vote bank politics , God help us.

Indian module behind July 13 Mumbai serial blasts: Chidambaram

NEW DELHI: The government on Thursday said there were indications of the involvement of an Indian terror module in last month's serial blasts in Mumbai even as the opposition and UPA ally NCP accused the Centre of being soft in its approach to terrorism.

"While no conclusion has been reached, all indications point to Indian module" in the July 13 blasts in Mumbai that left 26 people dead.

"We cannot live in denial. We cannot close our eyes to facts. There are home grown modules," he said while replying to a debate in Rajya Sabha on growing incidents of terror.

It is for the first time that the government has pointed towards the involvement of a homegrown terror group for the three explosions in the metropolis.

Chidambaram said there is a new dimension of home-grown terrorism which threatens the country's survival as federal entity even as the opposition targeted it of being "soft" towards the menace.

The Home Minister also said all over the world right wing fascist forces were on the rise and India is no exception to it.

Chidambaram admitted the Pune and Mumbai blasts are "two major blots" in the last 32 months since he assumed the charge of Home Ministry. "I accept it," he said.

Opposition BJP, joined by NCP, charged the government with being soft towards terrorism.

Participating in the debate, BJP leader Arun Jaitley launched a scathing attack on the handling of the terror attacks and said mandarins in the Ministry of External Affairs "feel helpless" while dealing with countries which are the epicentres of terrorism.
