Police on Saturday (August 2) arrested a man identified as an activist
of SIMI and recovered three CDs with information on bomb-manufacturing
and a cylinder filled with chemical gas from him. Tanvir Mulla, found
moving in a suspicious manner at Indala tank, was arrested from
Shingoli in Belgaum, Superintendent of Police Sonia Narang told
reporters.

The CDs recovered from his residence at Kustunagar
contained provocative speeches on Jehad, attack on Muslims in Gujarat,
besides detailed information and sketches on bomb manufacturing,
including chemical bombs, Narang said. The mini cylinder recovered from
him by the police is believed to have been used for making cylinder
bombs.

Security agencies are working overtime these days
along the Indo-Nepal border, the reason being the growth of large
number of Madrassas that have come up in a disproportionate way and are
not proportional to the Muslim population in the area.

Some
of the Madrassas or Islamic seminaries are believed to be the safe
houses for the militant groups, who were trying to set up the bases in
the Himalayan kingdom and operate from there, says a top security
official said.

"Setting up of Madrassas is nothing wrong. But
what is worrying us is the Madrassas are not proportionate to the
Muslim population in the area," he said.

On the Indian
side the Islamic seminaries have come up in Uttar Pradesh's Basti,
Siddharth Nagar and Balrampur districts while in Nepal, the Madrassas
are concentrated on Jhanda Nagar and Barhi-Krishna Nagar areas.

"Foreigners" were behind Monday's devastating bomb
attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul, a spokesman for Afghan President
Hamid Karzai has said.

Humayun Hamidzada did not name Pakistan's intelligence agency -
frequently accused by Afghan officials - but he strongly implicated
them.

Earlier Pakistan denied involvement in the bombing, which killed 41 people.

The Taleban have denied carrying out the attack, the deadliest in Kabul since their overthrow in 2001.

Deadliest attack

Mr Hamidzada said it was "pretty obvious" who was behind the
attack. He said it had been designed outside Afghanistan and exported
to it.

Kabul (Afghanistan): In a massive explosion Monday
that reverberated around the city, a suicide bomber killed at least 40
people and injured 140 at the gates of the Indian Embassy in the Afghan
capital, the Interior Ministry said.

In New Delhi, the Foreign
Ministry said the military attaché, who held the rank of brigadier, a
senior diplomat and three other Indians were killed in the attack. The
dead also included six Afghan policemen.

While Afghan cities are no stranger to suicide attacks, Monday’s assault ranked among the deadliest in Kabul itself.

The
bomber rammed a car into two Indian diplomatic vehicles as they entered
the gates of the embassy, witnesses reported from the scene. They said
the blast wrecked several other cars and spread human body parts and
bloodstained scraps of clothing amid the debris.

The embassy is near the Afghan Interior Ministry, the scene of a huge blast last year.
