| Indian agencies keep butting head against Interpol wall |
| 2008-07-31 |
| Indian investigators are convinced terror attacks in the country, including last week's blasts in Ahmedabad and Bangalore, are masterminded from Pakistan and Bangladesh. But every time they seek an Interpol 'red corner' notice so that the suspects are arrested wherever they are found, it is denied due to lack of "personal details". "We have clinching evidence that LeT, JeM and HuJI have formed a nexus and carrying out terror attacks in the country. HuJI militants travel to LeT bases in Pakistan for training and in turn provide logistic support in Bangladesh territory," a top intelligence official told IANS. "We strongly suspect that this nexus also involves SIMI and is using SIMI's widespread network of nearly 20,000 activists to execute bombings in the country," the official added, declining to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. But despite the clinching evidence against LeT and HuJI ultras in terror strikes, Indian security agencies have failed to secure Interpol red-corner notices against them. Every time the plea is rejected due to insufficient "personal details". |

| #2 Is what is happening in India typical criminal activity? Or is it basically war against the Indian state? If it is war, is the criminal justice system the most appropriate mechanism to deal with it? Should it be the Delhi police registering a case with Interpol? Or should it instead be RAW and Indian special forces acting against the plotters and financiers ? When he was PM, IK Gujral dismantled RAW's black operations team. He was uncomfortable with their bombing and assassination operations in Pakistan. Even Vajpayee as PM was reluctant in reconstituting RAW's offensive arm. Much talk and hand wringing. India needs another Indira Gandhi, another Sardar Patel. State sponsored terrorism is not a criminal justice problem. |

| #1 So ISI has sympathizers or agents or officers in Interpol. There's a surprise. |
