it makes no difference. Pakistanis died on the train. Doesnt matter where it was, fact of the matter is that they were killed and a lot of people are waiting for the indians to take action on it. And we have been waiting much longer than just 2008.

How can Indians act when the suspects are in Murree, Pakistan ?

more relevantly, in any respectable legal system a suspect is innocent until proven guilty....interestingly enough, in both cases suspects made confessions and then retracted them --claiming they were under duress

As I previously said, Kasab was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and another hand firing a Kalashnikov with his face on every CCTV in CST.He must have been treated as a war criminal for that and must have been publicly hanged. Whereas Aseemanand was not caught while planting bombs. He was arrested on suspicion of conspiring and that is to it. Till they have been proved beyond doubt the heroes at Murree and Arif Qasmani takes the credit for the attacks . No it is not eveel ll Bharati media claiming the same , its the official Press release of the US Treasury claiming that.

So atleast compare Apples to Oranges not Apples to Cricket Balls .

your own ATS --including the late Karkare --continue to assert that it is indian extremist elements --not Pakistanis or ''LeT'' that were involved in the crimes --not just Samj. Expr. but also Mecca Masjid and Malegaon. blasts as well.

Well he is no more to corroborate his allegations and I as a bad bad Yindoo thank LeT and their 10 Gazis for that.

not sure where HS figures into this conversation

Maybe because he is the CEO of the LeT aka JuD whose executive director Arif Qasmani has been indcited as the perperator of the Samjota Blasts.

his wife and some other sceptics seem to be thanking some other people

Err...He had only one wife and all that she had to say was this -

She (Mrs.Kavita Karkare) said that such statements would only benefit Pakistan, while the need of the hour was to punish the Pakistani terrorists behind the 26/11 attacks.

I'm not a traitor: Binayak Sen
Press Trust of India, Updated: April 18, 2011 21:22 IST

Raipur: Rights activist Binayak Sen, released on bail while serving a life sentence for sedition and links with Maoists, tonight asserted he is not a "traitor" and said the Supreme Court observation in his case will have "deep political implications".

Sen also welcomed Law Minister Veerappa Moily's stand that the country's sedition laws needed a "relook" and gave a clarion call for a campaign by the civil society against these
legislations.

Asserting that the charge of sedition slapped on him was "misplaced", Dr Sen, who walked free from the Raipur Central prison after the Supreme Court granted bail, categorically said that he has never betrayed his country. (Read: Dr Binayak Sen out on bail)

"I know in my heart that I have never betrayed our country. I am in no way a traitor," the 61-year-old medical doctor said shortly after his release from the prison where he
has been lodged since December 24 last after being sentenced to life by a trial court.

Stating categorically that there was no case of sedition against Dr Sen, a bench of Justices Harjit Singh Bedi and Chandramauli Kumar Prasad had said, "We are in a democratic country. At best he (Binayak Sen) is a sympathiser. There are many sympathisers of a cause."

The Apex Court in a scathing observation also said that a person does not become a Gandhian just because he is found with a biography of Mahatma Gandhi.

Hours after the Supreme Court granted bail to Dr Sen, Law Minister Moily dubbed sedition laws as "outdated" and said he would ask the Law Commission to study the issue. "I will consult the Home Minister and after that the Law Commission could be asked to revisit laws relating to sedition," Mr Moily had said.

Gadchiroli (Maharashtra), May 19 (IBNS): Four security personnel, including one commando of a special anti-Maoist squad, were killed in an encounter with the communist rebels in Maharashtra's Gadhchiroli district on Thursday, police said.

A group of around 250 Maoists opened fire on a police party comprising of C-60 commandos and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel at Nargond on Thursday morning, said Additional Superintendent of Police Rakesh Seth.

Fifteen Maoists also died in the clash, a senior law enforcement officer was quoted as saying. However, bodies of only two red rebels were recovered so far, media reports said.

The security forces also fired back and the gunbattle continued for over an hour. The injured were taken to the Gadchiroli Civil hospital for treatment.

At least seven CRPF personnel were killed in an ambush by the Maoists in the rebel-dominated Dantewada area of Chhattisgarh barely a day ago.

Supposedly fighting for the rights of indigenous tribals and the rural poor, Maoists are active in several states in central and eastern India and often target police and government officials, killing at least 1,174 rebels, troops and civilians last year alone.

Over one-third of India's 626 administrative districts are affected by the four-decade old insurgency, which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described as the country's biggest internal security challenge.

Indian Maoists 'Kill and Dismember' 10 Policemen​

Ten policemen, including one senior officer, have been killed and dismembered by Maoist rebels in India's Chhattisgarh state, police say.

The attack reportedly took place in the densely-forested Gariyaband area on the state's border with Orissa.

The bodies of nine policemen were found on Tuesday. Officials say they were shot and then hacked into pieces.

Maoist rebels say they are fighting for the rights of indigenous tribal people and the rural poor.

They are active in several eastern and central states. In one of the most deadly attacks last year, rebels killed 74 policemen in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.

India's prime minister has described the Maoist insurgency as the country's biggest internal security challenge.

The team left for a routine patrol on Monday morning and police said they lost contact in the afternoon. After their bodies were discovered on Tuesday, officials said the policemen were first shot and then their bodies were hacked into pieces "by sharp-edged weapons", the BBC's Salman Ravi from Raipur reports.

Correspondents say that certain groups of Maoists have been known to dismember the bodies of their victims.

An inquiry has been launched to find out how such a small number of police ventured into Gariyaband, which is considered to be a Maoist stronghold.

"As per the code of anti-insurgency operations, there has to be a team of not less than 200 when venturing into such difficult areas," an official told the BBC.
