Bhutto helped create Taliban monster

Pakistani policemen patrol at the site of the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi yesterday. Parliamentary elections — originally set for Jan. 8 — are expected to be delayed until February, due to the fallout caused by Bhutto's death. A date is to be announced today.

Bhutto helped create Taliban monster

I

n 1991, Pakistan's intelligence services stashed a massive cache of assault rifles and am­munition at a secret weapons dump in Spin Boldak, rushing ar­maments across the border as a (phony) deadline loomed for end­ing direct supply of their favoured combatants in Afghanistan's civil war.

Seventeen tunnels beneath the dump contained enough weaponry to arm thousands of soldiers.

Three years later, the Taliban broke the depot open and handed out rifles — still wrapped in plastic — to volunteers summoned from local madrassas, an incident docu­mented in the authoritative book Ghost Wars.

Within 24 hours, the Taliban cap­tured Kandahar, Mullah Omar took possession of the governor's headquarters, and the airport was seized — with its six MiG-21 fighter jets, four Mi-17 transport helicop­ters, fleet of tanks and armed per­sonnel carriers.

The Taliban gutting of Afghani­stan was on, nearly all opponents swept aside, Kabul falling with barely a whimper.

As Ghost Wars author Steve Coll

ROSIE DIMANNO

so dryly put it: "Benazir Bhutto was suddenly the matron of a new Afghan faction."

The late — twice — but no longer future prime minister of Pakistan was far, far from a stupid woman. The Taliban was a gamble she took, cunningly if not without consider­able trepidation — and certainly at the behest of a powerful intelli­gence service, the ISI, she feared but had to accommodate, in the doomed hope of retaining office.

But make no mistake: The wom­an who is now being so widely mourned — assassinated last week, perhaps by the very elements she empowered more than a decade ago — was nurturing stepmother to terrorists incubated under her watch; the same Islamist fanatics she inveighed against during the election campaign that came to a

screeching halt in the calamitous assault on her motorcade.

She was a brave woman, without question, but Bhutto was much to blame fqr the tinderbox that Paki­stan became during her exile hi Dubai and London — the toxic mil­itary entanglement with the Tali-ban — having helped to create a monster that not even the spon­soring ISI can control any longer.

For years, during her second ten­ure as PM, Bhutto lied brazenly to Washington about the extent to which Pakistan, with her approval, was covertly arming and funding the Taliban. As Bhutto admitted in a 2002 interview: "Once I gave the go-ahead that they should get the money, I don't know how much money they were ultimately given ... I know it was a lot. It was just carte blanche."

For Bhutto, the objective was to keep a new Afghanistan yoked to Pakistan and out of India's orbit. (Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was considered far too Delhi-friendly.) Out of this re­lationship would flow the riches of a Pakistan-controlled trucking in­dustry circumventing Kabul — a modern Silk Road trade incorpo-

rating the markets of Central Asia — the never realized gas pipeline from Turkmenistan, and training camps, off the Pakistan reserva­tion, for fighters deployed to Kash­mir.

Bhutto had an economic and po­litical vision for Pakistan, one that depended largely on creating a compliant client state next door. It all got away from her, as it did also ,., from the ISI. Indeed, Al Qaeda -^jBj now firmly interwoven with the S|f Taliban — was contemptuous of *4ljf Bhutto from the start, plotting her political demise, at the invitation of some ISI officers, as early as 1989.

Maybe by 2007, Bhutto had learned from her mistakes. Per­haps there was more to her than the democratic platitudes she es­poused, as Washington's latest pu­tative ally in the region. But this was a woman who lied and con­nived with brio, bewitching even the most garrumphing skeptics with her intelligence, charm and beauty.

She's already a better martyr than she ever was a leader of state. Rosie DiManno usually appears Mon­day, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Benazir-Zardari cases Internationale

foreign cases not Pak responsibility
By Ansar Abbasi

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau’s most important but now abandoned files on the alleged corruption of Benazir Bhutto and her spouse Asif Ali Zardari claim that Rs 90 billion was swindled and that the ex-ruling couple has dozens of offshore bank accounts, business interests and real estate.

But even those at the top in the NAB do not know today how this alleged amount – Rs 90 billion ($1.5 billion) – was calculated. Whether this is an exaggerated figure or real, the NAB and its forerunner the Ehtesab Bureau have been quoting this in the past as being the “stolen” money. However, both Benazir and Zardari never admitted to it. Rather they have been consistently pleading their innocence, claiming that the corruption cases against them were filed with malice to politically victimize them.

The NAB files on the ex-ruling couple are voluminous and in bundles. But to the good luck of the duo after early this year’s closure of the bureau’s special cell, which was probing the couple’s cases, these files are rarely touched.

Speaking informally and strictly off the record, NAB officials admit in their background interviews that the bureau’s special cell probing and pursuing the Benazir-Zardari corruption cases continues to be inactive.

An official has been assigned to look after Benazir-Zardari cases following the closure of the special cell but there are many, even within the bureau, who believe that the cases would not be seriously pursued. One of the top NAB officials, when contacted, denied having received instructions from the top rulers to become soft on Benazir-Zardari cases.

About the high-profile foreign cases in British, Swiss and Spanish courts against the couple, the NAB seems to have got cold feet. A senior NAB official did not hesitate in saying that the prosecution of these cases was the responsibility of the respective host countries and not that of the government of Pakistan. He said Pakistan would figure only when its legal aid was sought. He confirmed that in the case of Mardid, the NAB had already informed the foreign court in writing that it was no more a party to the case. Madrid has charged Benazir, Rehman Malik and a close relation of the PPP chairperson of serious corruption in the UN’s oil-for-food programme.

The Spanish government, the source however disclosed, is serious in pursuing the case and is not much bothered about the lack of interest by the government of Pakistan. While the NAB is giving confusing signals, the voluminous files on Benazir and Zardari talk of 11 frozen bank accounts in London, eight frozen bank accounts in Madrid, dozens of frozen bank accounts in Geneva and a long list of inland and foreign property business concerns. The couple is also said to have seven bank accounts in the US.

Benazir and Zardari, according to the NAB files, own eight properties in the UK, including the 131-hectare Rockwood estate in Surrey, eight properties in the US, including a country club in West Palm Beach, and a stud farm in Texas, four bank accounts and two properties including a lion home in the name of Zardari’s father and a lot more. The couple is also said to have properties and bank accounts in Dubai.

The couple has been accused of amassing a fortune in foreign banks and in foreign lands by taking kickbacks and commissions on government contracts, including SGS-Cotecna, ARY, Ursus Polish tractor deal, Swedish aircraft deal, Agosta submarine purchase, etc.

It was alleged that in a $4 billion 32 Mirage aircraft purchase deal, a document indicated that an agreement was reached to pay 5% “remuneration” – about $200 million to a foreign company owned by Zardari.

Two Swiss companies, the SGS and Cotecna, were implicated in $11.8m pay offs for a $131m contract to supervise Pakistan’s customs service. The amount was said to have been paid to an offshore company, owned by Zardari.

A letter of the-then managing director of Cotecna Robert M Massey, addressed to Zardari’s reported offshore Swiss company, also makes part of the NAB files. The letter confirms, “Should we receive, within six months from today, a contract from the Government of Pakistan for the inspection and the price verification of goods imported in Pakistan, we Cotecna Inspection SA, Geneva will pay you 6% (six percent) on the total amount invoked and paid to us by the Government of Pakistan for such a contract during the duration of that contract and its renewal. These payments will be made to you by us quarterly, on the basis of amounts effectively received by us in Geneva.”

These files also talk of bank transfer details of another pay-off from a Dubai-based gold dealer, who allegedly paid cash to Capricorn Trading, a Virgin Island firm controlled by Zardari in return for an exclusive license to import gold into Pakistan. The documents show two transfers of $5 million into Capricorn’s accounts from the Dubai-based Company’s account. The company, nevertheless, denied paying kickbacks and claimed that the documents were forgeries. These files speak of documentary evidence of pay-offs from Ursus, a Polish tractor company.

The NAB files also give details of foreign and local accounts and the properties they own, under their name or otherwise, both within Pakistan and outside.

According to a NAB source, the kind of evidence collected by the Bureau against Benazir and Zardari is exceptional and even appreciated by the foreign courts, which entertain such cases of corruption only on the basis of strong evidence.

Gen Musharraf planned to nuke India: Nawaz Sharif

By IBNlive.com

Wednesday July 5, 01:23 PM

London: Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, has thrown a bombshell claiming President Pervez Musharraf planned a nuclear strike against India during the Kargil war.

At the release of his biography in London, Sharif said that nuclear weapons were transferred by Musharraf without his approval or knowledge.

Sharif said he learnt of the matter only when former US president Bill Clinton informed him.

Among other revelations he made in his book titled Ghadaar Kaun? Nawaz Sharif Ki Kahani, Unki Zubani, the deposed prime minister said Musharraf waged the Kargil war without his approval.


He said it was the Pakistani military leadership, which begged him to get Washington to intervene and stop the Indian Army from advancing further.

Nawaz Sharif said the Pakistan Army probably went to Kargil with the hope of winning international intervention in Kashmir.

Nawaz Sharif says in the book, "During my post-Kargil misadventure meeting with American President Clinton, I was told by the American leader that nuclear warheads had been shifted from one station to another during the Kargil war. I was taken aback by this revelation because I knew nothing about it. The American president further told me that the nuclear warheads have been moved so that these could be used against India. I was asked by Clinton why I was unaware of these developments, despite being the elected Chief Executive and the Prime Minister of the country. It was a very irresponsible thing to do on General Musharraf’s part."

Kargil Karnage

Dear Sir/Madam ,

SPARE 5-MINUTES from ur busy schedule ..PLEASE !!!

Lt. Saurabh Kalia of 4 JAT Regiment of the Indian Army laid down his
life at the young age of 22 for the nation while guarding the
frontiers at Kargil.
His parents, indeed the Indian Army and nation itself,
lost a dedicated, honest and brave son.
He was the first officer to detect and inform about
Pakistani intrusion. Pakistan captured him and his patrol party of 5
brave men alive on May 15, 1999 from the Indian side of LOC.
They were kept in captivity for three weeks and
subjected to unprecedented brutal torture, evident from their bodies
handed over
by Pakistan Army on June 9, 1999.
The Pakistanis indulged in dastardly acts of inflicting burns on these
Indian officers with cigarettes, piercing their ears with hot rods,
removing their eyes before puncturing them and breaking most of the
bones and teeth.
They even chopped off various limbs and private organs of the Indian
soldiers besides inflicting unimaginable physical and mental torture.

After 22 days of torture, the brave soldiers were ultimately shot
dead. A detailed post-mortem report is with the Indian Army. Pakistan
dared to humiliate India this way flouting all international norms.
They proved the extent to which they can degrade humanity. However,
the Indian soldiers did not break while undergoing all this
unimaginable barbarism, which speaks volumes of their patriotism,
grit, determination, tenacity and valour - something all of India
should be proud of.
Sacrificing oneself for the nation is an honour every soldier would be
proud of, but no parent, army or nation can accept what happened to
these brave sons of India . I am afraid every parent may think twice to
send their child in the armed forces if we all fall short of our duty
in safeguarding the PRISONERS OF WAR AND LET THEM MEET THE FATE OF
LT.SAURABH KALIA.
It may also send a demoralising signal to the army personnel fighting
for the Nation that our POWs in Pak cannot be taken care of. It is a
matter of shame and disgust that most of Indian Human Rights
Organisations by and large, showed apathy in this matter.

Through this humble submission, may I appeal to all the civilized
people irrespective of colour, caste, region, religion and political
lineage to stir their conscience and rise to take this as a NATIONAL
ISSUE !!!
International Human Rights Organizations must be approached to expose
and pressure Pakistan to identify, book and punish all those who
perpetrated this heinous crime to our men in uniform.
If Pakistan is allowed to go unpunished in this case, we can only
imagine the consequences.
Below is the list of 5 other soldiers who preferred to die for the
country rather than open their mouths in front of enemy -

1. Sep. Arjun Ram s/o Sh. Chokka Ram; Village & PO
Gudi. Teh. & Dist.
Nagaur, (Rajasthan)

2. Sep. Bhanwar Lal Bagaria h/o Smt. Santosh Devi;

3. Sep. Bhikaram h/o Smt. Bhawri Devi; Village

Dear Sir/Madam,

The news of Philippines' government negotiating with the militants trying to create a separate Islamic country, once again proves that governments, much less people, don't learn from the mistakes of history. Beleaguered governments tend to avoid hard choices and go with short sighted easy solutions with disastrous consequences.

All Philippines' government has to do is look at India after the partition. She was the first country to be partitioned to create an Islamic homeland forIndia's Muslims, Pakistan. World knows what Pakistan today is and what havoc it has brought on her neighbors. American 9/11 came 10 years after India's 3/12. Don't even try to count the subway bombings, nursery school bombings after bombings. Parliament of India riddled with bullets. Plane Hijackings and market blasts that have become routine. ALL THIS, AFTER THE CREATION OF A SEPARATE ISLAMIC STATE CARVED OUT OF INDIA FOR INDIA’S MUSLIMS.

The creation of Pakistan turned out to be the beginning of the pursuit of turning entire India into an Islamic State. For last 60 years, Pakistan is the bullhead for the entire Islamic crusade. Under the banner of an Independent state of Pakistan, world's worst terrorists have unchallenged training camps to mass-produce terrorists and nuclear weapons to eliminate the Infidels. Remember according to the Islamists, there are only two worlds,

"DARUL E HERB OR DARUL E ISLAM". Translation: LAND OF WAR OR LAND OF ISLAM.

And Philippine's Government thinks that another world of Islam in Philipines i.e. "Darul e Aman" will be the land of Peace?

How naive and how sad that the government of Philippines thinks that Land of peace will be Philippines after a sovereign base for Islamic Jihad is created on their soil. This will be another nail in the coffin of peaceful co-existence. Another launch pad for the assault on the State of Israel and neighbouring secular democracies, like India, Thailand & Indonesia.

Best Choice for India Now

The Editor May 23, 2004
The Toronto Star
One Yonge Street
Toronto, Ont
M5E 1E6


Dear Mr Hepburn,

Sub: Best choice for India Now.

Haroon Siddiqui’s May 20th column “Best Choice for India now” Carries the same message that he has been preaching for last twenty years or more. India some times may be good but Hindus are always bad. The pity is that Toronto Star, a national news paper, has allowed its banner to be hijacked by columnists like him.

In your newspaper's claim of the killing of 1000 Muslims in Ahmadabad has been high lighted time and again. Editorially and otherwise, never once the paper has tried to trace what prompted that riot? It just remained a brief news article that the Hindu women & children were burnt alive which started the riots.

Haroon Siddiqui conveniently links, “a decade of sectarianism” to BJP minority government. However, way before BJP, since 1985 alone after the birth of Taliban, 45000 Hindus have died in Kashmir and surrounding areas. Radical Islam has ravaged Chachnia, Sudan, Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, Israel and of course Afghanistan. But in India, according to your columnist, the past BJP government of Hindu nationalists had been the root cause of sectarian riots. The column not once points any finger to the birth parents of Taliban, Benazir Bhutto and the ISI.

Congress Party with Nehru Dynasty had been in power for 48 years. Muslims rioting has been an annual ritual, be it for Salman Rushdie writing Satanic Verses in Britain or an article on a boy whose name happened to be Mohammad. Buildings including Bombay Stock exchange bombed, Hindu homes and news paper offices burned as a routine feature. However, Toronto Star’s position seems to be that Islamic Fundamentalists of Pakistan are responsible for the Al Qaeda adventures and the loss of life in massacres after massacres the world over, except in India. Only in India ,you say, the multi headed Hindu nationalists are doing the unHindu things.

India is more than 80 percent Hindus. Had been near that even before the carving out of “The Home Land for India’s Muslims” -Pakistan. It was the Hindu majority that gifted another Islamic State to the world of Islam. It was the Hindu majority that preserved the Muslim population and culture in the left over India while the Hindus were exterminated in Pakistan. These are the Hindu principals that have given India the solid foundation of democracy and tolerance that is unparallel in the world. Congress ruled post partition India because Hindus voted so and they are back in power because Hindus voted so. The present president of India is the third Muslim to hold that coveted position and was appointed by the BJP, the so called Hindu nationalist party. Today in addition to the Muslim president, the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a Sikh leads India, irrespective of religious back ground, on his merits. He is not a “Symbolic Choice”, as Haroon Siddiqui puts it. It is crystal clear that India is a secular democracy not despite of Hindus but because of the majority of Hindus.

Contrary to the articles by Mr Siddiqui, I was enlightened by your Asia Bureau Martin Regg Cohn’s brilliant article “India’s Rural Reality”in today’s Star. A section on India with an insight of a professional and the design of class, picture and all. If you have to venture into the sectarian aspect of India, I suggest you find some one like Denial Pearl. Eager to investigate and ready to die because the forces that control the Radical Islam in Pakistan are not subject to the custom and immigration at the wide and porous Indo- Pakistani border.

Yours truly,

Geographical Research

Ramayana is geographically very correct

Every site on Rama's route is still identifiable and has continuing traditions in the form of temples to commemorate Rama's visit.
In those remote days no author had the travel facility to concoct a geographically credible story and build it into local folklore.

---

All the places visited by Rama still retain memories of his visit. Some places have commemorative temples, others commemmorate Rama's visit in local folklore. There is convergence in literature, archaeology and local tradition.

[ + ] Dunagiri

	As per the history we know, in the Lanka war, Lakshmana was mortaly wounded. The Sanjeevani herb was needed to revive him.
	Hanuman picks up whole hill of medicinal herbs
Hanuman brings hill with herbs to Sushena who treats and revives Lakshmana Not that well known is the story that, Hanuman then returns the hill to its original place after use, on the same night, before dawn.
	The boulders, stones, etc. of Dunagiri fell in many places enroute. Hence the complete hill was not returned.

Dunagiri - Uttarakhand: In the Gandha Madhana mountains, now known as Dunagiri, there lies a scar on the side of Dunagiri where Hanuman sliced off a big chunk. In most re-tellings of Ramayana, after the medicines were used, Hanuman flies again to replace the mountain in its rightful place.

According to Dunagiri local folk lore, Hanuman failed to return full hill.
Because of his failure to keep up his word local villagers refuse to take the temple prasad at village's annual festival.
	One of the medicinal plants on Hanuman's list, Visalyakarani, in Samskrit meaning "removing spikes & arrows." - Found in Dunagiri

[ + ] Devaprayag

Ravana – Lankeshwaran Ravana was: A Shiva baktha, An Exponent of the Vedas, A gifted veena player, played the Sama Veda on veena and A Brahmin Rama did brahmana vadham prayashchitham, i.e., an atonement for killing a Brahmin, at Devaprayag – Uttaranchal
Devprayag Sangam - Confluence Alaknanda Ganga
Rama performing brahmana vadham prayashchitham

[ + ] Nasik

The name 'Nasik' has a historical origin. Lakshmana cut off Surpanaka's nose here. That is why the place is called 'Nasik' - from 'Nas' meaning 'nose'.

Sita Gufa is an underground cave labyrinth in which Sita hid herself when Ravana came to abduct her. Panchavati is derived from Pancha and Vati, meaning, 5 Vata Peepal trees, i.e., a Peepal tree grove.

[ + ] Kishkinda

Kishkinda is near Hampi in modern day Karnataka. Anjanadri near Hospet is the birthplace of Hanuman Anjaneya. Sugriva lived in Rishyamukha on the banks of the Pampa Tungabhadra.
In the British records of the gazette of Bellary district, which is very near modern day Hampi, or Kishkinda of earlier times, the then collector has noted that the forest tribes of that area call themselves the Vanara people, and used Monkey as a symbol in their totem pole and flag. This vanara totem in Bellary District Gazetteer is to the right. The Jaina Ramayana also mentions a banner of the Vanara, Vanaradhvaja, vanara flag

[ + ] Rameswaram

Rama worshiped Shiva at Rameshwaram and prepared the Linga out of sand.

[ + ] Bridge

Connection between Adam's Bridge - Rama Bridge Nobody else in Indian history has claimed its construction Though Valmiki did not visit the south Valmiki would know the difference between a sea and a river.

Who Killed Jesus?

WHO KILLED JESUS?

By Jay Mathur

Sub: "Thou Shall Not Kill”, “Thou Shall Not Steal Thy neighbor ass”.

I have this question for Billy Grahams and Pat Robertsons of this world. When was God in the life of the "faithful?" When was Jesus remotely visible in Christianity? When did the paper Bible become separated from the metallic bullet? In 2000 years of Christian history, not a year has gone by when Christian soldiers, priests and politicians refrained from the killing and looting in the name of Christ. When, in the history of Christianity, bullets did not precede Bible; Nuns did not followed the Guns.

Unfortunately the Ten Commandments got crushed under the philosophy of "Only through Me”. Jesus never could have his goals fulfilled. Christianity used his name to colonize the world. "God created man in his image", so blacks, who did not look like Jesus were treated like animals. And the animals believed to have no soul, so entertain with their pain, slaughter them with out mercy, and experiment the hell out of them for our mascaras. You still can visit Mississippi and discover that belief, thank God, in minority though. Crusaders murdered, raped, looted and wiped out civilization after civilization. Humanity in Americas, both north and south, wiped out. The Natives of Australia, gone. New Zealand's natives slaughtered to the last baby. Christian record of horror committed centuries after centuries, is unparalleled even till to date. Not equaled yet, even by Islamic zeal for heavenly rewards. The so-called "Non Believers" and "Pagans" never had a chance. Jesuit priest took away native babies from their mothers' laps to be raised as good Christians. What happened to them as sex slaves, in Canada, New Zealand and Australia, is revoltingly well known now.

Under “Born Again Christian” president George W. Bush Jr, there are three billion dollars every year going to "faith based programs", while 20 million, mostly black and Latinos, have no medical coverage. This "Born Again Christian" has saved the people of Iraq like his predecessors saved countries after countries by stalling dictators. Not a word heard or a tear drop from Billy Graham et. al. at the destruction of the Museum of Mesopotamia, the irreplaceable precious jewel of antiquity.

Bible has advanced on the path cleared by the bullets everywhere. Calcutta, the most prosperous and intellectual city in pre Christian British India, finally got to the stage under the Christian Master's rule, that Mother Teresa could get the opportunity to serve and save the Bengali souls. Wonder why she did not set shop in South Africa' segregated slums, created by the strict Christians? Sierra Leon is the latest example of how a country is looted, her people disseminated, for Diamonds in this case. The Christian Missionaries are saving the souls now.

Pardon me for speaking the historical truth. The track record says it all.

God is the every creation’s soul. “ALL GOOD THINGS FROM ABOVE COME THROUGH THE WITHIN.”

When you try to bring God from outside in, holiness is crushed under the unholy boots.

Not Romans, but the organized Christianity killed saint Christ. They are killing his message time and again, ever since.

God bless you. Amen

Three 12 to Nine 11 - ONE EVIL, ONE JIHAD.

ONE EVIL, ONE JIHAD

Compiled and commented by Jay Mathur

The 1993 Mumbai blast attacked the life blood of financial centre and might of India, which laid the ground work for 9/11 of the United States. Be it the horror of India’s flight AC 814 or Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 Over Lockerbie , Jihad and the jihadis remain the same. In fact is that Omar Shaikh, who slit the throat of Daniel Pearl was the mass murderer terrorist who was released from an Indian Jail in exchange for the passenger on Indian Airlines plane hijacked to Afghanistan. Ofcourse , Taliban was the apple of the American eyes then. Attack on the Indian parliament should not be seen any different than the attempted destructing of White House in 2001. Neither is the mass murder on July 7 on the Mumbai subway any different from the attack on London subway. We can go on and on. The dance of evil continues on world stage with immunity. 9/11 or 7/11, Mumbai tragedy is the tragedy of the mankind.

Serial bomb blast story- March 12, 1993
By M H Lakdawala

As prosecution and defence gear up to submit arguments six years after the marathon bomb blast trial reached its fag end, a ray of hope has emerged among the 124 accused, including film star Sanjay Dutt, for an early verdict. On August 9,last month CBI commenced arguments based on the evidence tendered before designated Judge P D Kode. The defence team also appeared set to submit their contentions, according to lawyer Subhash Kanse. The trial is a grim reminder of serial explosions, which rocked the metropolis on March 12, 1993, killing 257 persons and maiming 713 others besides damaging property worth Rs 30 crores. The blasts were caused at prestigious and important buildings like Mumbai Stock Exchange, Air-India Building, Hotel Sea Rock, Hotel Juhu Centaur, Hotel Airport Centaur and busy commercial areas like Zaveri Bazar, Century Bazar and Katha Bazar. Statistics A record number of 13,000 pages have been recorded as evidence by 684 witnesses examined by CBI. Altogether 38,070 questions were put to the accused to record their statements. Twenty-seven criminal cases were registered in connection with the blasts in different Police Stations of Bombay city, Thane Distt. and Raigad Distt. of Maharashtra. The Govt. of India entrusted the further investigation and trial of the case to CBI. The case was, thus, taken over by CBI on 19.11.1993. Out of 124 accused who are facing trial, which commenced on June 30, 1995, thirty-one accused are in custody while the rest, including Sanjay Dutt, are on bail. Of them, Abu Asim Azmi and Amjad Mehr Baksh were discharged by the Supreme Court while co- accused Riaz Khatri jumped bail. Two others, Hamid Dafedar and Harba Hari Khopatkar passed away. Seven accused -- Salim Kurla, Majeed Khan, Shakil Ahmed, Mohamed Jindran, Hanif Kadawala, Akbar Abu Sama Khan, Mohamed Jabir Abdul Latif-- were killed either by rival gangsters or in police encounters. A special court was set up in 1994 under the TADA (P) Act to conduct the trial. It was headed by J N Patel who was elevated to the Mumbai high court in 1996. He was replaced by designated judge P D Kode, who is now presiding over the court housed in the high security central prison The prosecution story is that the blasts had been masterminded by Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon in the aftermath of demolition of Babri Masjid. Blasts mastermind Tiger Memon is suspected to be in Pakistan. Two of the accused persons, who turned approver, were examined in the beginning of the trial. According to the Police both the approvers disclosed threadbare how the conspiracy was hatched and revealed that some accused were taken to Pakistan via Dubai for arms training. The prosecution also led evidence to show that RDX was used for the first time in India in this case. It was stuffed in cars and scooters in the godowns of Tiger Memon's building at Mahim in central Mumbai. The Memons escaped to Dubai a day prior to the blasts. They went to Pakistan from Dubai. While Tiger and his brother Ayub stayed there, other family members returned to India via Dubai. They claimed to have surrendered before CBI but the agency alleged that the Memon family was arrested when they landed at Delhi airport from a Dubai flight.

In a new twist to the Kandahar controversy, Congress leader R K Anand alleged that the then External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh had "carried more than USD 200 million to the hijackers of the Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 in 1999 under international pressure," a leading English daily, The Statesman, reported here on Thursday.

The hijack drama ended on December 31 after the release of three jailed terrorists -- Mohammad Masood Azhar, Ahmed Omar Sayed Sheikh and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar -- by the Indian government.

Who Killed Daniel Pearl? - On January 23, 2002

by Bernard-Henri Lévy, translated from the French by James X. Mitchell

Melville House, 454 pp., $25.95

ISI had a direct hand in Pearl's abduction and murder" and where he adds, in the very next sentence, that Omar Sheikh had been an agent of ISI

His death

On January 23, 2002, on his way to an interview with a supposed terrorist leader, Pearl was kidnapped by a militant group calling itself The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty. This group claimed Pearl was a spy, and — using the e-mail address kidnapperguy@hotmail.com — sent the United States a range of demands, including the freeing of all Pakistani terror detainees, and the release of a halted U.S. shipment of F-16 fighter jets to the Pakistani government.

The message read:

We give u one more day if America will not meet our demands we will kill Daniel. Then this cycle will continue and no American journalist could enter Pakistan.

Photos of Pearl handcuffed with a gun at his head and holding up a newspaper were attached. There was no response to pleas from Pearl's editor, and from his wife Mariane who was pregnant with their first child.

Six days later, Pearl was murdered by having his throat slit. The men later severed his head. Pearl's body was found in a shallow grave in the outskirts of Karachi on May 16. His body was brought home to the United States and he was interred in the Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

Light a Candle in your heart as well, so that some day truth and morality will become the "National Interest " of every country. Then and only then, we will see the peace. The world will survive the present madness of ever decreasing circle of intolerance.

Hopefully our grand children will start to see the glimmer of hope with light of these memorial candles.

The only thing more frightening than the fear of the unknown in future is the look of the Indian History. Most Indians don’t have the guts to look at it.

Looking back gives the responsibility of taking actions to ensure that SUCH A HORROR IS NEVER COMMITTED AGAINS THEM AS A GROUP, AS AFAITH.

Thomas Moore in his best Seller, Care of Soul, writes;

“ Care of the soul, looking back with special regards to ancient psychologies for insight and guidance, goes beyond the secular mythology of the self and recovers a sense of the sacredness of each individual life. This sacred quality is not just value-All lives are important. It is the unfathomable mystery that is the very seed and heart of each individual.”

Islamite’s have completely submerged themselves in the vision of the Perks of Heaven. The Prescribed route by Koran, they believe, is through their active participation in the decimation of the non-believer the idol worshipper, a Kafir of the worst kind. In doing so, they have drowned their soul and the society.
