Absconding terrorists keep cops guessing
2008-08-01
Mohammad Rahil Shaikh, Mohammad Faiyaz, Zaibuddin Sayyed, Aslam Kashmiri, Azam Chima. These names are synonymous with terror and each has a link with Gujarat. There are many more names and these are now the centre of post-blast investigations. They are all absconders and crucial terrorist handlers.

Rahil Shaikh though is an explosive expert who designed Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Rahil's name figured in the 7/11 blasts aboard a Mumbai train. Along with him names of Faiyaz and Zaibuddin also figured in the list of suspects.

The same names once again figured, this time for a case closer home -- the RDX blast at the Ahmedabad railway station on February 19, 2006. In that case too, a timer malfunction had prevented the blast from being effective. Very much like the abortive attempts at explosions in Surat.
