Monday, November 16, 2009

Media is not investigating the possibility that both the so-called FBI suspects, Headley and Rana, were placed in India, by the US agencies themselves. It is widely known that US immigration agencies do clandestinely put their own people in other countries as private Visa Counselors, to dig out, if a prospective applicant is genuine or fraud. For that they may help such of their agents to integrate into the prevailing system by taking up various disguises and aliases. The career and movement of both Headley and Rana would suggest strongly about such a possibility. India and Indian people may be taken for a ride by the US agencies, giving out piece-meal information and sending us on wrong trails.

If LET itself is a front for ISI which is reported to have full CIA support, why should India give any credit to the recent disclosures by the US on 26/11 investigations?

It is time Indian Government takes Indian public in full confidence over such devious designs of foreign agencies that spill over into public arena and poison our society.

LeT agent Rana's deadly 'recruitment drive'
16 Nov 2009, 0818 hrs IST
Intelligence Agencies are closing in on the dreaded Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives Tahawwur Rana and David Coleman Headley's network in India. The investigation led to discovery that Tahawwur Rana visited Kochi in Kerala posing as a visa consultant and prior to his visit he even published ads in leading English daily in the state to that effect.  Sources now tell TIMES NOW that this ad is in fact a camouflaged signal placed by the Lashkar operative Tahawwur Hussain Rana with a clear purpose. It was a message to his associates on where and when he would be available for meetings across the country. The Lashkar men used newspaper ads to liaise with their contacts.  Rana and his wife checked into the Taj Residency hotel in Kochi on November 17, 2008. Central and state intelligence agencies are now looking for their local contacts, people who met them and the people who placed the advertisement.  Jacob Punnose, DGP (Intelligence), Kerala Police said, "Our information says he stayed at the Taj some person by name Hussain Rana with his wife stayed in the hotel. The ostensible purpose was his Canadian immigration. We are also looking into reports that he could be there in Kochi for recruiting people for his organisation."  A closer look at the advertisement featuring Rana, revealed that the ad was published on November 17, 2008 and offered visas to US and Canada on limited time money-back guarantee. His tour dates were as follow: 14th and 15th November in Delhi, followed by Kochi. Two days in Hyderabad and on November 20 he would be in Mumbai -- just 6 days before 26/11 terror attacks.
