Indian Mujahideen hand becomes clearer in Hyderabad blasts - The Times of India

NEW DELHI: As investigators trawl the devastated spots in Hyderabad's Dilsukhnagar for clues to Thursday's twin blasts, a debate has begun in the home ministry over whether the terror attack could have been prevented.

The MHA had fewer doubts on Friday about the involvement of Indian Mujahideen in the attack. The bombs carried the signature of IM. Both the devices were packed with ammonium nitrate and shrapnel with a timer mechanism: the staple of IM bomb-makers. The use of cycles to strap bombs has also been an IM trademark since November 2007 when they attacked courts in UP.

Both bombs were designed to ensure that the impact of explosions was concentrated on one side: again a stock in trade for IM which has used boat-shaped devices earlier in order to maximize casualties.

Faced with allegations of intelligence failure in Parliament, home minister Sushilkumar Shinde pointed out that the Centre has issued a series of alerts to authorities in Hyderabad about a possible terrorist reprisal against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

The first advisory went out on Saturday, alerting states against the threat of United Jehad Council to launch a fresh terror campaign against India to avenge Guru's hanging. The message was amplified by Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed.

Dilsukhnagar fitted the bill, having been surveyed by an IM module as recently as last year. Delhi Police had on the basis of testimonies of two alleged IM terrorists, Syed Maqbool and Imran, told Andhra authorities that the locality was recceed as recently in July last year.

Sources in the home ministry said that the emphasis on the sites which had already been reconnoitered reflected the assessment that the terrorists were under pressure to do something spectacular sooner than later and, hence, focussed on locales they were already familiar with.

There was also puzzlement about the reasons why they failed to do so despite the fact that terrorists had targeted the same spot in 2007.

The last attempt failed only because the device planted by IM terrorists failed to go off, sparing the locality the devastation caused by the bombs the same module led by Riyaz Bhatkal had planted at Gokul Chat Bhandar and Lumbini Park.

Sources said that the routine of having to respond to the same kind of cues repeatedly could not but lead to a dulling of response: a vulnerability which could be exploited by a terrorist group set on a particular target as has been the case with IM and Dilsukhnagar. The predominantly Hindu locality with a history of communal tension has been consistently targeted by terrorists since 1999 when they unsuccessfully planted a bomb there.

When a state starts murdering people under POTA, for political cookies they also make the blowback inevitable.

Keep treating Indian Muslims as Second Class Citizens and worst will come down the pike.

I expected atleast you to be a bit more knowledgeable before spouting inanities.

POTA was repealed 8 years back.

And can we say the same for the murder and bomb blasts happening in Pakistan ? That the state suppression of Baloch and Pasthuns are causing them to indulge in those acts ?

He was trailed and charged under POTA

"Consider this: the ‘comprehensive investigation’ of the attack on Parliament was completed in 17 days flat by the investigators — the Special Cell of the Delhi Police. The prosecution story of who attacked Parliament, which is popularly believed to be the real story, is based on the confession of the main accused Afzal Guru to the police under the Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act (POTA). The Supreme Court has dubbed this confession, and thus, in effect, the conspiracy theory behind the attack floated by the police, as “unreliable”.

"The FIR was lodged by the police on December 13, and recorded as an armed attack by terrorists. After subsequent arrests, all the accused were tried under charges of waging war, conspiracy, murder, attempt to murder etc. Six days later, the provisions of POTA were added to the original charges. "

This is why India can never hope to compete with China. China has none of these issues, and any troublesome minorities are such a small percentage of the population they dont matter.

As India attempts to rise, the growing income inequality will ostracise different ethno-religious segments of the population and lead them to sabotage progress.

Afzal Guru: Guilty of an Unsolved Crime?

POTA can only be used to charge people.

It ultimately has to stand the legal scrutiny in local court and then in the Supreme court for the guy to be convicted.

He was afforded a fair and rather extensive trial and his death sentence was upheld by the learned judges of the local and supreme courts.

Maybe to you it might sound strange given that your courts immediately release those terrorists, but ours actually do sentence them for their crimes.

Don't derail the thread.

I did not de-rail .it was you who de-railed by giving Afzal's death as a justification for the blasts. I merely asked if this was the same in your country too.

Pakistani's tend to be so entertaining.

When there is terrorism case in India, Pakistani's start about how 'real issues' are the cause and need to be solved.

But when there is terrorism in Pakistan, its nothing to do with any 'real issue', its just warlords and their mindless ambitions.

Thankyou for your suggestions gentlemen. Come back and talk when you are able to say that your country is better than India. At the moment, we out rank you by a big margin.

The difference is that we kill terrorists as soon as we find them.

If someone has become a terrorist then they are already a lost cause anyway.

All these people being identified as part of the "IM" terrorist organization in India, why are they still alive?

Then you say why world do this to you ? Killing innocents, Afzhal from Kashmir, case of Kashmir, killing people, 5 students included is called revenge ?

You guys are pathetic. Nothing good can happen in Pakistan when there are people like you praising terrorists who kill Indians.

Jo ek insaan ka katl karta hai, woh insaaniyat ka katl karta hai. Islam kehta hai.

When a state starts murdering people under POTA, for political cookies they also make the blowback inevitable.RIP.

Blowback ? 70,000 people killed by your LeT, JeM in Kashmir.

Don't say RIP. You should be ashamed of yourself justifying this attack.

@Chinese-Dragon Read this.

Votebank politics. You are now well versed in Indian politics that yo would understand the term.

That said, IM is a banned organization. And any member found is generally atleast arrested.
