Kashmiri student held in Delhi high court blast
NIA has arrested a Kashmiri medical student who is suspected of being a 'key link' in the conspiracy behind the Delhi high court bombing in September which killed 15 people. Wasim Ahmed, a student in Bangaldesh, was being questioned by the NIA in connection with the blast, according to official sources.There was no official word on whether Wasim was arrested near the Indo-Bangladeshi border or the authorities in Dhaka had handed him over. Wasim was also quizzed about the whereabouts of Hizbul Mujahideen operative Junaid Akram, thought to be one of the key conspirators in the Delhi blast. From the leads being followed in the case so far, the investigators suspect that it could be the handiwork of Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen and not Harkat-ul-Jehad-Islami (HuJI) as earlier believed. Information about Wasim was given by Azhar Ali, who has been incarcerated in Jammu since 2009, according to sources. An NIA team had questioned Ali, arrested for involvement in recruiting people from the Kishtawar area and obtaining SIM cards for the outfit, to learn about some of the youths including Akram he had allegedly sent for training to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. Though NIA claimed that Akram was in Pakistan, sources in the security agencies believed that he was in Jammu and Kashmir. NIA has arrested Abid Abbas, a high school boy, on charges of sending an email after the high court blast. The probe agency had also detained Abbas's brother from Shillong who expressed complete ignorance about the matter.
