      Ahmed and his relatives, then, might well have picked up the foundations of their ideology through Tablighi Jamaat teachings. It is also possible that experiences of communal hatred reinforced their beliefs. The son of an unemployed factory worker, Jalees Ansari graduated from Mumbai’s Sion Medical College in 1972. Despite his professional success, Ansari felt embittered by what he perceived as pervasive religious intolerance. Students and staff at his college, Ansari told investigators later, often insulted Muslims. Later, Ansari came to believe that his Hindu colleagues did not treat their Muslim patients with care. Although Ansari claimed to have been a “secular-minded person,” successive communal massacres and the demolition of the Babri Masjid led him to snap. He executed 50 bombings nationwide.
      From east to west

      In the weeks to come, investigators will seek to piece together just what led Kafeel Ahmed to snap. Most likely, he came into contact with the rest of Glasgow group through Bilal Abdullah, an Iraq-trained doctor who sat with him during the Glasgow airport attack. Abdullah is believed to have had active links in the Hizb ut-Tehrir, a U.K.-based Islamist group that has long supported Osama bin-Laden.

      When Abdullah was a student at Cambridge, Ahmed studied at the nearby Anglia Polytechnic. Abdullah possibly put Ahmed and his relatives in touch with the overall head of the car bombing plot, Saudi national Mohammed Jamil Asha.

      Experts note that no similar collaboration between South Asian and Arab Islamists has ever been seen before – but it is, in fact, no surprise. Groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Harkat ul-Mujahideen and Harkat ul-Jihad Islami are affiliates of bin-Laden’s International Islamic Front. In April 2006, bin-Laden expressly linked Al-Qaeda’s campaign against the West to these organisations, by referring to a “a Crusader-Zionist-Hindu war against the Muslims.” Since then, Arab-South Asian alliances have been increasingly evident.

      For example, a French court recently convicted Pakistani national Ghulam Rana for funnelling funds to terror groups with the assistance of two French citizens of Arab origin.

      For many in India, it will be tempting to attribute these new alliances to the anger generated by the war in West Asia. While it is a tempting theory, this is only half the truth. Shiraz Maher, a friend of Abdullah, told British television that he “actively cheered the deaths of British and American troops in Iraq.” “One of his best friends had been killed by a Shia militia tank while he was at medical school,” said Maher, himself a former member of the Hizb ut-Tehrir.

      “He was clearly very angry about what was happening. But to say it was just all about Iraq or foreign policy is mistaken. It feeds off a much wider ideological infrastructure.”

      India, home to a not-insignificant part of that ideological infrastructure, needs to listen to Maher’s words with the greatest care.

        جستجوی پلیس هند برای عاملین انفجار حیدرآباد


        نخستین انفجار در یک پارک تفریحی رخ داد که مردم مشغول تماشای نمایش با نور لیزر بوده اند
        یک مقام ارشد هندی انفجارهای مرگبار روز شنبه در شهر حیدرآباد در جنوب هند را به گروه های پیکارجو در بنگلادش نسبت داده که به گفته وی با پاکستان در ارتباط هستند.
        عصر شنبه بیست و پنجم اوت دو انفجار به فاصله چند دقیقه در حیدرآباد رخ داد که بر اثر آنها دستکم چهل دو نفر جان باختند و دهها نفر دیگر مجروح شدند.

        تاجاسخارا ردی، وزیر اعظم ایالت آندرا پرادش - که شهر حیدرآباد در آن واقع شده - مشخص نکرده منظورش به چه گروه یا افرادی در بنگلادش است. وی بلافاصله پس از حادثه روز شنبه نیز آن را 'مشکوک به تروریستی' خوانده بود.

        این در حالی است که نیروهای پلیس هند همچنان مشغول تحقیق در باره جزئیات حادثه اند و تا کنون به مظنون خاصی اشاره نکرده اند.

        پارتیبا پاتیل، رئیس جمهور هند، انفجارهای حیدرآباد را اقدامی در راستای بر هم زدن یکپارچگی این شهر خوانده که جمعیت ساکن آن را مسلمانان و هندوها تشکیل می دهند.

        در ماه مه سال جاری میلادی، اردیبهشت، نیز 14 نفر در اثر انفجار بمبی در یک مسجد در حیدرآباد کشته شده بودند. حیدرآباد یکی از بزرگترین شهرهای جنوب هند است.

        نخستین انفجار روز شنبه در یک پارک تفریحی (لومبینی) اتفاق افتاد. انفجار دیگر با فاصله چند دقیقه و چند مایل آنطرف تر، در یک غذاخوری شلوغ رخ داد.

        برخی از مردم منطقه گفته اند که اندکی بعد از ساعت هفت و نیم بعد از ظهر به وقت محلی صدای انفجار مهیبی را از پارک لومبینی حیدرآباد شنیده اند. این پارک با رستوران ها و امکانات تفریحی اش از مراکز پر طرفدار در این منطقه است.

        بنا به گزارش ها، انفجار در یک سالن روباز پر از تماشاگر اتفاق افتاده که مردم در آن به تماشای یک برنامه 'رقص نور با لیزر' نشسته بودند.

        یک مرد جوان که در میان حدود دویست تماشاچی برنامه بوده به تلویزیون هند گفت: "من دیدم که صندلی ها همراه با آدم ها به هوا پرتاب می شد."
