Mumbai techie behind Delhi blast
By    siliconindia news bureau
Monday,15 September 2008, 20:48 hrs
New Delhi: It has been a nauseatingly embarrassing fact that even well educated techies in the country are easily drawn into the net of 'Jehadi' influence. Investigations into the Delhi blasts on Saturday are bringing out the role of an Indian Mujahideen-SIMI cell led by Abdul Subhan, the techie jehadi from Mumbai, reports The Times of India.


The modus operandi - emails from Indian Mujahideen warning of or coinciding with blasts, use of ammonium nitrate and ball bearings pellets and other shrapnels in explosives, use of crowded markets so that higher casualties can be achieved even by low-intensity blasts - carries the signature of IM-SIMI.

Besides, the email from Indian Mujahideen, like the two previous ones, was sent from Mumbai. Subhan's base using an unsecured wi-fi connection of Ms Kamran Power Private Limited in Chembur, owned by A person named Kamat. Although the mail came from Mumbai, references to newspaper coverage in Delhi editions in the past few weeks suggests that the draftsman may have been in Delhi.

The police has been able to recover the chassis number of the auto rickshaw that was used for the blast in Ghaffar Market in Karol Bagh. According to latest reports, eight people have been detained and are being questioned. "We have some good clues," said a police spokesman.

Although Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi stated in Bangalore that he earlier this month told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and National Security Advisor that there were plans to strike the Capital, intelligence sources were taken aback by the Indian Mujahideen's choice of Delhi.

They were suspecting Subhan and Qayamuddin, computer-graphic designer from Vadodara to strike in either Maharashtra or MP.

The probe is going to focus on the likely contacts of Subhan, Qayamuddin, and other absconding IM-SIMI activists - Abdul Bashar, Razeek, Afridi (all from Gujarat), Ikram, Inam and Musa (all from Madhya Pradesh).

Abdul Subhan who has evaded arrest after narrowly escaping a raid by Gujarat Police in Surat on SIMI hideout, has made no secret of his anger over the Ahmedabad crackdown. In the last email that he wrote intelligence sources suggest for Indian Mujahideen using the nom de guerre of Al arbi, Abdul Subhan tried to mislead the investigators by calling all the arrested innocent and Kenneth Haywood, the US national whose wi-fi he is suspected to have used to send the email warning of Ahmedabad blasts, an ally.

2: No country can secure each and every citizen everytime. It is high time that our govt should take some hard action against terrorirst so that that they should scared of doing such things. It is fact that Congress is responsible for such problem in my country(India). As they came in power first they withdrew Pota and for thier dirty politics and vote bank they are always appeasing Muslims with thier justified or unjustified demands. I m not saying that they should support Hindu/Hinduism but they should have dare to speak the Truth. Needless to say that Hinduism is the best religion in the World.
I m proud to be a Hindu.

5: This is a very sad news of human life.
I agree 100% on Muslims behind all terror activities.

“Not all muslims are terrorist , but all terrorist are Muslim “

They keep on getting multiple marriage and produce plenty of childrens. They dont register birth and death information so that even if they do sucide or perform terror activity, they cant be detected. Since they dont have work other than suside bomber or terror(preparing a local guns and bombs and blast bombs). They train from childhood to sucide and kill other people. They are not only lived in Pakistan but are available every places in india. The only worst community in the world is muslims(99%). They cant see economy development country, nation, they only think,eat and drink how to kill people, how to burn developed contry, how to beat other community. we hope another Sardar wallabhai patel/ Subhas chandra bose will born in India and attack muslims and make them run away from India and withdraw voting power to all muslims. Bloody congress government learn at least after that. (I promise I am not from any political party).

Jai hind!

6: And by the way I am a techie too. Tomorrow if I meet somebody in a mosque, just like that. And the person seems to me to be a nice human being(we can't predict anybody by his face, what organization he belongs too). I talk to him on phone about some work, and the other day he is involved in some blast. What will happen? Police will investigate his calls, and finds my number too... and see now another techie will be a SIMI activist, a terrorist. Reason... culprit of talking generally to somebody, without doing his background check. Do we do the background check of everybody we talk to. Please ask yourself. Even if he is not a muslim. But I am a muslim, then wouldn't I be taken as part of the heinous crime, I hated all my life. Wouldn't all my love for my country be proven fake in one second, without me doing anything, or even without having a hint of what happened. Please guys, just remember two thing... what you see is not always true, and all terrorists are not muslims. It's just that calling the name of Allah and killing people, seems to me, has become happening thing today.

8: First of all thank you so much to the people like Nitin Sawhney, must be a hindu by religion, but to me a true Indian. Most of important we want people like him in every religion of our country. We are indians first. And there should be no doubt in anybody's mind ever about our patriotism. Terrorists beware, you cannot kill all of us. And for all the terrorists being muslims, please everybody put hands on your heart and ask yourself, can this be absolutely true. How many cases in our country have we seen, that an innocent is grilled for no reason. How can we authentically say, that what the govt. machinery is saying is absolutely true? How when our so called great intelligence system can't analyse when a terrorist attack will occur, suddenly, within no time, tell who are the suspects... SIMI, ISI,.. well. Who comprises this SIMI? For God sake if everybody is so sure that it's the main culprit, them screw them up please, don't talk about banning them. What do we mean by ban? Does that stop anything. No, if what the intelligence say is true. And also what about the people spreading terrorism in Orissa and Mangalore. Terrorist is not the one who plants bombs. Every human being who creates terror in life of people of any community in my country is a terrorist. Please don't ban any of these organizations. Please punish them. The punishment that terrorises these terrorists forever. We just don't want these people. Please...

9: Yet again, Indian police have been caugh wrong footed! The Indian security services must be the only organisation in the world with no intelligence gathering capability. I understand there is something called the Intelligence Bureau who monitor internal security but apparently they are staffed with low level officers whose literacy (let alone IT skills) are extremely low.

10: WE AGREE THAT EVERY MUSLIM IS NOT A TERRORIST, BUT WHY EVERY TERRORIST IS MUSLIM.......NOW ITS SHAMEFUL THAT TECHIES ARE INVOLVING IN THIS.......

11: unless there is a right way of moral education provided to all,there would be these kind of incidences,it is shame for india being 2nd most populated country in world and best in IT, the techies like these are creating hectic terror in county.I think the solution is just to follow Bigguns like USA or Russia in Security and aggressiveness.But there are lot of ways to make country better by moral education from childhood and developing patriotism towards country.

12: God knows when these terrorists will stop the killings in the name of God (Allah). These people think by doing all these killings they'll get a place in heaven (jannat), but this is for sure that they will not get a place in hell(dozak) either. God has given is brain to think and take right decisions, really its shame full that well educated guys are lured into the so called "jehad". This is my personal opinion that the terrorists don't belong to any religion or community they are just making money out of this. If they belonged to any religion or community they would have thought twice that when the bomb will explode it will not ask from a person, to which religion or community he belongs, before hitting him. Terrorists are cowards otherwise they would have not run after placing the bombs or take cover by using innocent people as their shield. Only thing we can contribute to the nation is that we should be more cautious and vigilant while at public places. There is no harm raising an alarm if something suspicious is noticed. I am proud that nation comes together in difficult times, be it Mumbai blast or now Delhi, people have shown that they are not afraid of such activities and life will go on..

13: the first thing that every citizen of india is to respect for our security guys, you just look upon them as chowkidars or guards and pay him or them less than for the diet of your dog and you want all the stuff secured, do you guys really know the salary of a security guy in india .
apart from that the security guys should be equipped well not that you give him a lati and cycle to move around do the security job
respect security and then ask for internal security and eternal security
leave USA and european nations to do what ever they want with their citizens
you better look after yourself

14: Its a shamefull task to say that the internal security is so poor. The citizens themselves dont have respect on their motherland and to the source of food & sheletr they are availing. If we cant trace out such culprits amongst us how we will trace out the one who is sitting in a remote place and hacking our financial status and the movement of the supreme authority of government? can anybody have the answer?

15: May souls of the Blast victims reside in peace. No doubt, the Balsts have been terrible yet Hats Off to the citizens of India who have shown courage and did not succumb under fear.But, the security system must be ashamed of doing absolutely nothing to prevent such deadly happenings.When India supports security measures then what is it that people are checked only after some mishappening has already occurred? Even on the Day of Independence this year, no passenger was asked to get their luggage checked at New Delhi Railway Station. WHY? Did ever citizens of India refuse to be checked? NO. If the security personnel are appointed for the job, they are supposed to work 365 days.SO why do they work only for the few days which follow such heart breaking incidents? A loss of one Daniel Pearl made US attack Afghanistan. When will India Realize the value of ONE citizen.....WHEN???
