| 2007-09-05 |
| (KUNA) -- India Tuesday asked the military-backed caretaker government in Bangladesh to furnish details about the arrest of a key suspect behind the twin blasts in Southern Indian city of Hyderabad last month even as Dhaka denied any link to either the attacks or the detained guerrilla. Mohammad Sharifuddin alias Abu Hamza, a top suspect in the Hyderabad blasts on August 25 that killed 44 people and injured 100, was detained by the Bangladesh police last weekend, according to Indian security agencies. India also reiterated its demand for action against the India Insurgents Groups (IIGs) operating from the Bangladeshi territory. Several IIGs from Indias Northeast are reported to based in neighbouring Bangladesh. Outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom operates from there and Pakistans Inter Services Intelligence is reported to maintain close links with the rebel group and other outfits. New Delhi alleges ISI of providing logistic support to the Indian rebel groups. Dhaka has repeatedly denied presence of any Indian rebel group or its leadership on its soil. "India is seeking cooperation from Bangladesh on the issue," Indias External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters on the sidelines of a function at Delhi today. "During the Indo-Bangla Home Secretary-level talks last month, we gave them the details of individuals like Hamza who were indulging in insurgency and all sorts of terrorist activities," Mukherjee told reporters. "New Delhi is asking Dhaka to confirm reports of Hamzas arrest urgently. We will then take appropriate steps," a source in the Indian Home Ministry told KUNA here today. After Dhaka confirms Hamza's arrest, New Delhi will take measures to extradite Hamza. However, Bangladeshs leading English daily New Age quoting Home Secretary Abdul Karim reported today: "We will verify the reports of different international and Indian media. Bangladesh does not have any involvement in the Hyderabad blasts. The foreign ministry will lodge its protest through diplomatic channels". |

| #1 Another failed creation of the 1940s that would be best taken care of by dismantling it and placing its people under Indian governance. Some people seem to be incapable of understanding the laws of unintended consequences - as well as the rules of law in general. Flush them. |
