Dear all,
Every now and then, some "terrorist" or another is arrested. Never an
alleged terrorist, but a proclaimed one. Every now and then there is a blast
that kills dozens. We never know who commits these attacks. We never will. A
man has been sentenced to death this morning for an attack on the Red Fort.
What a circus this is, and what an audience we are. Two news reports below.
The first one will affect your reading of the second one.
Enjoy.

IB, cops in murky frame-up

NEW DELHI: The CBI has found that Intelligence Bureau operatives colluded
with Delhi Police special cell sleuths to 'plant' RDX on two youths who were
arrested as 'Al Badr terrorists', TOI has learnt. The shocking conclusion
comes a month after the agency told the Delhi High Court that the special
cell's probe into the murky affair "didn't inspire confidence".

New Delhi: The CBI has found that Intelligence Bureau operatives colluded
with Delhi Police special cell sleuths to 'plant' RDX on two youths who were
arrested as 'Al Badr terrorists', TOI has learnt. The shocking conclusion
comes a month after the agency told the Delhi High Court that the special
cell's probe into the murky affair "didn't inspire confidence".

Top CBI sources told TOI on Wednesday that the seized RDX appeared to have
been planted on the two 'terrorists' Mohd Moarif Qamar and Irshad Ali. The
agency will submit its report, which indicts officers of IB and Delhi Police
special cell, to the court on October 24.

While similar episodes in the past have hurt the credibility of the
anti-terror agencies, this one stands out because it marks a rare instance
where Intelligence Bureau operatives collaborated in the plot hatched by
Delhi Police's special cell against its former informers.

The IB official named in the CBI report for abducting Qamar is inspector
Majid Din. Din had identified himself as Khaled when he picked up Qamar. The
CBI, however, managed to track him through the mobile phone which he used to
lure his victim. Din had committed the blunder of using his own phone
(9810702001) for the purpose. The disclosure can put his senior colleagues
in IB also under scrutiny.

Delhi Police special cell officers in the dock after the CBI probe are
inspector Sanjay Dutt and sub-inspectors Vinay Tyagi, Ravinder Tyagi and
Subhash Vats. The CBI report said they posed as two other officials of
special cell, inspectors Hriday Bhushan and Lalit Mohan Negi, to make the
frame-up appear a genuine anti-terror operation.
