Harkat Jihadis shoot up American Center in Calcutta
  • Four policemen were killed when gunmen sprayed the American Center on one of Kolkata's main thoroughfares. A criminal with links to Pakistani intelligence has said his outfit was responsible for the shooting and has threatened more attacks. Officials in Calcutta received a telephone call from Aftab Ansari, alias Farhan Malik, who is based in Dubai and linked to the Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami, a Pakistan-based Islamic group fighting in Jammu and Kashmir.
    The Kashmir-based snuffies have to show they're still in business and of course America's the enemy. It's real hard on the poor cops who were killed, but it's a pretty ineffective attack overall. It's also significant that Ansari's main line of business is as a criminal. Like seeks like.
