Headley Saga: Mumbai attack was a joint IB-CIA-Mossad-RSS project

With the row over India getting access to David Headley growing
acrimonious each day, the CIA's double agent saga seems all set to
open up a can of incredible worms.

First, the case unmasks the pro-US face of the Indian English media.
When the Headley saga first came to light, Vir Sanghavi of the
Hindustan Times carried an editorial piece claiming that if 'Headley
is CIA, and knew about 26/11, the CIA knew about the attack.' In other
words, Sanghavi accepted the 'conspiracy theory'–which in the eyes of
the English media was 'peddled' by Aziz Burney and this author during
the terrible aftermath of 26/11–that the event was a
CIA/Mossad/RSS/ISI plot.

In November-December 2008, Vir Sanghavi and his cohorts in the English
media attacked both Aziz Burney and this author for spelling forth the
'conspiracy theory'. Then after Headley's name surfaced, they changed
tune, without of course admitting their debt to Mr. Burney or this
author.

Mumbai Attack, 26/11, Terrorism, Politics, Communalism, Minorities,
Human Rights, Minority Rights, Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salaskar, Ashok
Kamte, Batala House encounter, fakeThe fact of the matter is that in
the 2009 Parliamentary elections, the English media was all set to
project Lal Krishna Advani as India's next Prime Minister. It was the
feverish anti-RSS, anti-Mossad work done by Aziz Burney and this
author that went a long way in ensuring the victory of Congress and
secular forces.

Now when the CIA hand behind 26/11 is slowly being unraveled, the
English media is seeing red. It is again trying to portray Headley
merely as a Lashkar operative, severing thus his links with the CIA.

This highlights the second point, that basically Headley and the CIA
cannot be de-linked. Thank God the government of India put into place
the NIA, a new National Investigative Agency. The NIA was set up, as
the IB and other Indian agencies, especially the IB, had not only gone
anti-Muslim-they had gone anti-India. This was proved in the case of
Azamgarh boys picked up in and around the Batla House encounter on
various bomb blasts charges. Most of the boys were products not of
madarsas, but modern schools. They were youngsters in their teens;
they had made a mark for themselves in professional courses and were
holding jobs in the new, professional sector of the economy.

When Shri Digvijay Singh, the General Secretary AICC and the most
secular leader of the India, went to Sanjarpur (under the banner of
Anti-Communal Front) in Azamgarh to find out the facts for himself, he
was shocked to find that Zeeshan, a boy from Azamgarh who on the
fateful day of the Batala House encounter was giving his exams, had
more than 50 cases slapped over him in more than three states–which
meant that his parents could go on fighting cases for more than 100
years and yet Zeeshan would be in jail.

There are dozens and hundreds of Zeeshans from Azamgarh and other
districts of UP, Gujarat and Maharashtra languishing in various Indian
jails on unsubstantiated charges. This in fact is India's Guantanamo
Bay story–that right here in the world's largest democracy the Indian
security services like the IB have secret detention and torture
centres where innocent Muslim youths are tortured and put to death.
The IB today has been infiltrated heavily by RSS, Mossad and CIA. In
fact, this one agency is an anti-national agency—it is obstructing the
work of NIA and secular Indians like Shri Digvijay Singh. Soon, in
India's interest, the IB will have to be closed down. All its communal
officers will be hunted down and tried in a court of just law.

The IB knew about Headley—this is proved by the fact that the SIM
cards used by the ten 26/11 terrorists were purchased by an
Intelligence Bureau (India) (IB) informer. Till date, the
investigations into the 26/11 case, which the IB is handling, have
been unable to state as to how the ten terrorists got hold of the SIM
cards.

The State IB chief of Maharashtra told a very senior Mumbai Police
Officer just after 26/11 that he was ‘entirely in the dark about 26/11
investigations as Delhi (meaning the chief IB office) was handling
it'. Basic information about 26/11 was not shared with secular Indian
officers. The Headley lead would never have come to the fore had the
NIA not stepped in.

IB training criminals [read here Charge-sheet against IB]
Now comes the news that the IB has set-up training camps in Gorakhpur,
where it trains criminals–and then uses them to kill Muslim
under-trials. The name of Chota Rajan is used as a convenient
scapegoat. It is in this manner that dozens of accused in the 1993
Mumbai bomb blasts, several other such accused in other cases, Muslim
businessmen and men of influence have been eliminated on a systematic
basis in Maharashtra. The latest in the long list of victims killed
allegedly by IB is Shahid Azmi, the lawyer defending the accused of
the 2006 Mumbai train blasts. Shahid had hit upon evidence which
proved the innocence of the accused-and that is why he was bumped off,
again by criminals with Nepal–Gorakhpur links!

In fact, the state of Maharashtra holds the dubious distinction of
almost institutionalizing the extra-judicial killing of Muslim youth
and personalities. Headley was in India months and years before the
26/11 attack; he even surveyed Pune where a blast took place as late
as February 2010. It beats one’s imagination as to how the IB did not
know about Headley and his movements. There can only be two scenarios:
that the IB is totally incompetent–or that the IB is heavily
infiltrated by CIA and Mossad: the agency knew about 26/11 and did
nothing to stop it.

This places the IB at par with Headley, as executioners of 26/11 and
mass murderers. There can be no other honest conclusion.

Headley holds the key to the fact that 26/11 was not just a mere
Lashkar operation–that it was a joint Mossad-CIA operation, conducted
with possible ISI and RSS help.
If the charge-sheet against Raj Kumar Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya,
accused in the Malegaon and other blasts, is read, it is clear that
there was always some sort of collusion between the RSS and the ISI.
The so-called nationalists, the Hindutva forces, took money to the
tune of crores of rupees from the ISI! The IB knows about this
transaction but is keeping quiet!

The Headley saga has links to Abhinav Bharat and pro-Hindutva terror
groups. The pro-Hindutva terror groups are widely believed to be
behind the Pune blasts where a combination of RDX and Ammonium Nitrate
was used. Right after the visit of Shri Digvijay Singh to Maharashtra
in February 2010, the state home secretary spoke of the possibility of
the involvement of Hindutva groups in the Pune blasts. Other officers,
including the ATS chief Raghuvanshi, purported to be an
RSS/opportunist also spoke of this possibility. But then RR Patil, the
Maharashtra Home Minister whose role during 26/11 was disastrous and
who was removed from his post in the wake of the attack on Mumbai (but
who was restored after the 2009 assembly elections), made amazing
statements ‘that those who take the name of Hindu organizations in the
Pune blasts will be punished'!

How can a Home Minister make such a statement? Now we hear that Rakesh
Maria, a notorious anti-Muslim officer, with pro-Israeli links, a man
who has killed and tortured innocents, has been made the new ATS chief
and Raguvanshi has been promoted! Secular organizations in Maharashtra
were demanding that Raghuvanshi be removed and that an honest, secular
officer be made the ATS chief so that Hemant Karkare's seminal work in
cracking the shell of Hindutva communalism could be promoted!.

But Rakesh Maria is even worse than Raghuvanshi. It seems that the NCP
in Maharashtra has taken a clear anti-Congress, anti-national line. RR
Patil, who is a third grade, uncouth, thoroughly communal, NCP leader
should be removed from his post. The Maharashtra chief minister should
act, because if the NIA gets access to Headley, the latter's links
with Hindutva organizations–and the whole RSS-Mossad-CIA-ISI-IB
nexus–will be exposed. This nexus is working overtime to destabilize
the Congress government and undo the commendable work done by the
party under the secular leadership of Sonia Gandhi.
