Quote:Delhi Blast Victim Relatives Allege Harassment From Mortuary Officials

New Delhi, Sep 8: The relatives had come to collect the bodies of their loved ones, killed in the Delhi High Court blast, but were entangled in web of bureaucratic formalities at the Sucheta Kripalani hospital's mortuary on Thursday, leading them to give vent to emotional outbursts and some even hurling abuses at the officials.



The relatives accused the hospital authorities of hassling them and delaying handing over the bodies to them.



"First they told me to get a polythene wrapper for the body. Then after 15 minutes, they asked me to get a four metre cloth again to wrap the body. Couldn’t they tell me to get those things at the same time?” said Sukhdev Singh, who had come to collect his friend Inder Singh’s body.



Singh was called at 8 am but only handed over the body at 12:30 noon.



Shiruddin, who had arrived from Uttar Pradesh's Meerut city to collect his father, Nizamuddin’s body, had a similar tale to tell.



“Can’t they even give us a piece of cloth and plastic wrapper? As tax paying citizens, don’t we even deserve that?” he asked.



According to relatives, the hospital was taking more than two hours to release a body.



“They had asked for an identity proof from me almost two hours back and I have no idea when will I get the body,” said Naresh Kumar, a friend of deceased Vir Pal Singh.



The visitors said the hospital staff could have been more sensitive to their feelings.



Aggrieved kith and kin of the victims at the hospital unleashed a wave of anger directed at the government, accusing it of being cold towards their plight.



Shouting slogans, the friends and families of those killed or injured in the incident, voiced their ire at the lack of facilities and organisation at the medical institutions, stressing that hospital authorities were treating them 'like animals'.



In a tone that betrayed a sense of anger and frustration, scores of anxious relatives alleged that there was a state of chaos at the hospitals, with the police and medical authorities not taking steps to address their concerns.



[color="#0000FF"]"The main problem that we are facing is that the people who have been injured or those who have been killed have been placed in rooms and wards like animals. Post-mortem on bodies is not being conducted. Neither the doctors nor the police are cooperating with us. Even the health minister is not helping us," said Vinod Kumar, a relative of one of the blast victims.[/color]



[color="#0000FF"]Meanwhile, in Hyderabad, a group of lawyers held a highly charged demonstration[/color] outside the metropolitan court to demand justice for the blast victims.



Holding posters and placards, hundreds of slogan-shouting lawyers condemned the blast and urged lawmakers to formulate tougher laws against [color="#0000FF"]extremism.[/color]



Lashing out at the Central Government for failing to curb [color="#0000FF"]militancy,[/color] the protesting lawyers demanded the immediate resignation of Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram over the incident.



"We are protesting here to appeal to the government to immediately announce [color="#0000FF"]at least Rs20 lakh as ex-gratia compensation to the families of those killed in the New Delhi blast. The government must also provide employment to one member of every bereaved family," said Wahid Ahmed, a protesting advocate.[/color]



"We also demand the immediate resignation of Home Minister Chidambaram. The government has clearly failed to act on extremism," he added.

Quote:Wasim was also quizzed about the whereabouts of Hizbul Mujahideen operative Junaid Akram, believed to be one of the key conspirators in the Delhi blast, the sources said.



From the leads emerging in the case so far, the investigators suspect that it could be the handiwork of Pakistan-based terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen and not Harkat-ul-Jehad-Islami (HuJI) as believed earlier.



Information about Wasim was given by Azhar Ali, an overground worker of Hizb, who is in Kotbalwal Jail in Jammu since 2009,the sources said.



An NIA team had questioned Ali, arrested for being allegedly involved in recruiting people from Kishtawar area besides securing SIM cards for the outfit, to know about some of the youths including Akram he had allegedly sent for training to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, the sources said.

Quote: Experts pointed out that such a precise attack could be the handiwork of a highly professional international group. “But we don’t rule out local involvement,” added the official.



What has baffled the Delhi Police is that the attacker was smart enough to dodge past high resolution CCTV cameras that are installed in the New Delhi district. Police scanned the footage but the mysterious man who was riding a red-coloured bike was not caught on camera. Police did track down a biker who happened to pass by that road around the same time. He was caught and brought for questioning. However, he was allowed to go as his replies were found satisfactory.

Iran denied involvement in the New Delhi and Tbilisi bombs.

Thai police said they were working to make safe an unspecified amount of explosives found in the house, which did not appear to have been badly damaged.

Police said they were looking for two other men who had been living there and they later said they had apprehended one suspect at Bangkok's main Suvarnabhumi airport.



"We discovered the injured man's passport. It's an Iranian passport and he entered the country through Phuket and arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport on the 8th of this month," Police General Bansiri Prapapat told Reuters.

However, investigators are in the dark about the identity of the motorcyclist who had stuck the bomb on the embassy vehicle.



Five persons, who own red motorcycles, were picked up for questioning today.

"It seems that the executor wanted to combine the effects of the sticky bomb with that of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) by turning the car into a car bomb and cause maximum damage to commuters and adjacent buildings," said the officer.



Gupta said investigators were seeking CCTV footage from Israeli embassy and Canadian embassy.

Quote:MHA: Most terror cases have been solved

Under attack by the Opposition over investigations into terror cases, the home ministry tried to put the record straight on Thursday by claiming that 'almost all major terror cases' had been solved.



The BJP had alleged no terror cases have been solved by the investigating agencies in the last eight years.



The ministry said in its statement that more arrests were expected in the terror cases allegedly involving the right wing extremists.



"The National investigation Agency (NIA) has recently arrested Kamal Chouhan and it is expected that more arrests will be made leading to the solving of these cases," the statement said.



The ministry, however, accepted that three terror cases - the 2008 Mehrauli blast, 2006 Jama Masjid blasts in Delhi, and the 2010 Varanasi blast - remain unsolved so far.



Giving an overall picture of the terror cases investigation, the ministry statement said: "Since May, 2000 there have been 46 major terrorist incidents. Of these, all but 7 cases have been solved. In 9 cases, convictions have been obtained. Of the remaining 30 cases, chargesheets have been filed in 29 and trial has commenced in 19 cases. Two cases ended in acquittals."

Quote:20 killed as bomb blasts hit India

[color="#800080"][img caption:][/color] At least 20 people have been killed after bombs exploded in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad. (AAP)





Cricket Australia say they're monitoring the situation after two deadly bomb blasts in Hyderabad, the venue for the second Test.



Twin bombings killed at least 20 people on Thursday outside a popular cinema and bus stand in the Indian city of Hyderabad, provoking safety fears among Australia's touring cricket team.



Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the perpetrators of the "dastardly act" would be punished. It came with the nation on alert after the recent hanging of a separatist unleashed protests in the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.



The evening bombings targeted a mainly Hindu district in Hyderabad, a hub of India's computing industry in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh which hosts local offices of Google and Microsoft among other Western IT companies.



Witnesses said one of the crude devices went off around 15 yards from the entrance to the Venkatadri Cinema in the popular retail district of Dilsukh Nagar and the second exploded next to a nearby bus stop.



The first explosion went off just as movie-goers were making their way out of the cinema at the end of a show. Some had stopped at food stalls when the deafening blast went off.



A government minister said the bombs, which went off in quick succession, were planted on bicycles. The charred wreckage of parked scooters lay on the ground, mingled with the blood and footwear of victims who included two women.



Doctors struggled to treat a stream of wounded victims as bloodied patients lay on stretchers at city hospitals and anguished relatives clamoured for news of their loved ones, an AFP photographer saw.



Hyderabad is due to host a Test cricket match between Australia and India from March 2 but a statement from the Australian side said it was now in talks with Indian authorities and stressed that the safety of its players was "paramount".



Hyderabad deputy inspector of police Shiv Kumar said there was no doubt that "this is a terror attack" while adding there had been no claim of responsibility.



Twenty people died in the attack, said Kumar, while an officer in the police control room said 82 people had been wounded.



Sreekanth Rao, a doctor at the city's Yashoda hospital, said several of those injured were in a life-threatening condition.



"Five people are being operated on. We had to amputate a 22-year-old woman's leg because that was the only way we could save her," he told AFP.



"This is a dastardly act and the guilty will not go unpunished," Prime Minister Singh said of the attacks, the most serious to hit India since 13 people died in a 2011 bombing outside the High Court in the capital New Delhi.



But Singh also appealed for "calm" in the aftermath of the Hyderabad blasts, as police struggled to keep order with large crowds massing at the scene.



[color="#0000FF"]N. Kiran Reddy, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, told reporters in Hyderabad that the blasts were intended to incite communal violence in the city, which has a large Muslim population.



"This attack is only to disturb all communities living in the city. I request people to maintain calm and they should not visit the blast site."[/color]

[color="#800080"](What??? So now the christoislamaniacs didn't do it to blow up the Hindus, but 'only' to incite anger against the christoislamania that blew Hindus up?

Essentially the crypto Kiran Reddy is saying that the Hindus having been murdered - by christoislamania - does not matter. That the christoislamic terrorism should not be punished, but rather that any *communalised* response to the christoislamic terrorism must be suppressed.

But there is one thing that the obvious crypto Kiran Reddy has admitted to: if the bomb blasts and the massacre of Hindus was indeed to incite communal violence between islamics and Hindus in Hyderabad, it must be calculated christian terrorism. Since Hindoos don't blow up Hindus - they even refuse to blow up anyone else, but they certainly wouldn't blow up Hindus.

And as Kiran as implied that it cannot be the islamaniacs, therefore he has indirectly admitted that it must be christians. No? It's either one or the other Kiran, can't have it both ways. It's either a conspiracy to "incite communal violence" btw islamaniacs and Hindus - caused by 3rd party christianism - or it is not a conspiracy and it a straightforward massacre of Hindus by islamaniacs yet again.)[/color]



Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai, the top civil servant in India's external affairs ministry, did not rule out foreign involvement.



"I am not sure there is any evidence it could be homegrown terrorism. We have had a number of attacks which have been traced to inspiration or leadership outside the country," he said at a Washington think-tank.

(O for goodness sake. Isn't it a bit premature to start declaring what the evidence - still being gathered - does or does not say about the locus of origin of the terrorist group? All that can be said without a doubt is that the terrorism is christoislamic - that's just a given that is beyond doubt, though the christoislamic brains are no doubt brainstorming on how they can spin this into an inversion as well.

Since the crypto-islamic Shinde - who recently brought up that christist concoction of "Hindu terror" again - will be unable to pin this one on Hindus, and in order to protect the culprit of islamania in this, he will end by desperately and lamely declaring that the Hindus spontaneously combusted here also, just as christoism had declared Hindus had spontaneously combusted when islamaniac terrorists had attacked and set fire to that train in Gujarat.)
