Brain test carried out on Lashkar suspect

2004-01-20

This sounds painful...
For the first time ever, a novel method was used by the Indian Crime Investigation Department (CID) to extract the truth from a suspected terrorist. The CID subjected a man to âbrain wave fingerprinting testâ to confirm the link between the Sai Baba Temple blast and suspected sabotage of the Hyderabad-Bangalore Express. Sources in CID told Deccan Chronicle that Syed Abdul Nayeem, a resident of Saidabad, suspected to be a Lashker-e-Taiba activist, was taken to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences at Bangalore for the test. CID personnel arrested Nayeem in November 2003 along with Irfan Ali Khan for providing shelter to the accused in the temple blast case. A CID official on the condition of anonymity said, âWe have information that the same module had executed the temple blast that killed two persons on November 21, 2002 and the Hyderabad-Bangalore train mishap in December 2002 in Kurnool, in which 19 persons lost their lives.â

That guy last night was saying there's no such thing as terrorism, that it's an articial construct concocted by neo-cons and other sinister elements. He wasn't on that train.

Two people, Mohammad Azam of Rein Bazaar and Syed Aziz, alias Imran of Malakpet, allegedly responsible for the blast, were killed in separate encounters on November 22 and 23 in 2002 in Parvatapur on the outskirts of the city and Karimnagar respectively. The police arrested Nayeem and Irfan in connection with the temple blast in October 2003. Police said that Abdul Bari from Riyadh was monitoring the two.

That's interesting. A Soddy controller on-site for a sabotage campaign in India...

Experts, who examined the train mishap site, confirmed sabotage after the rails were found cut with a hacksaw.

That's usually a pretty good indicator...

#4 Is this where they suck your brain (if any) out your ears with a 1953 Hoover Electrolux?

#3 I hope they weren't cut with a hand-powered hacksaw
All it takes is time and plenty of willing hands. They've got both.

I hope they weren't cut with a hand-powered hacksaw. If so, one has to wonder what kind of steel they are using for their rails.

A former Indian intell operative who operated the South Asia Analysis Group has long claimed that apart from the Lashkar-e-Taiba's primary infrastucture in Pakistan, it has a large presence in Saudi Arabia too, with the two countries representing a division of labor.
While the LET's headquarters in Pakistan co-ordinate its activities in North India, including J&K, the Central Asian Republics (CARs) and Russia (Chechnya and Dagestan), its headquarters in Saudi Arabia co-ordinate its activities in Mumbai and South India, the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka and in the countries of S.E. Asia. Since 2001, there have been a number of arrests of LET cadres in Mumbai and South India, who reportedly claimed to have been trained, funded and directed by the LET set-up in Saudi Arabia and not directly by the LET headquarters in Pakistan.
