The Delhi police chief called it fake too, sadly this isn't going to picked up by the major news corps

Even if it was not fake, the video was shot when the security agencies had not completely taken over all the venues and arrangements.

Let them try something like this now and they will realise what the famous '3rd degree' of Indian police means!

Read the article, the 'journalist' didn't even go through any security checkpoint, he just went through a vehicle roadblock !!

It takes the term 'yellow journalism' to new heights!

Now where have all the trolls disappeared to ?

Yes I know and that's why I said "Even if he did"...

A lot of things have changed in past 4-5 days my friend.

Some have gone "fishin" and some have gone "journalisin".
This 'news story' by the journalist was kinda fishy as it is.

the real thing is that Duffy didn't carry any explosive,he just carries a suit case with foam,and he did not even enter the games veneu check point,he just passed a traffic diverting point where anyone can go..there won't be any check at traffic diverting barricade..
and the explosive he showed was a demo of a mining kit by a dealer and it's legal
and the kit he showed did not have remote detonator,he had to use 100 meters wire to trigger the blast,funny isn't it..
And This shows australians real racism..

The story wasn't exactly fake. The guy did walk past a security checkpoint with a suitcase (even if it's just a vehicle roadblock, isn't it a bit suspicious that a guy is walking with a suitcase past a vehicle roadblock? lol.), that in it's self is a security breach. However, the journalist did make it look like he had the explosives in the case.



also last night, a reporter walked into the main stadium with a fake ID and the guards let him in, and then he tried a second time to get in and they wouldn't let him in.
