Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) : The UP government has sought withdrawal of the criminal case against an absconding alleged HuJI operative Shamim Ahmed, accused of planting a bomb in Varanasi in 2006. The bomb, which did not explode, was found soon after the twin blasts at Sankatmochan Mandir and Varanasi Cantt station in which 21 persons died on March 7, 2006. The third bomb had been planted near Jamuna Fatak in Godaulia, in Dasaswamedh police circle. All the bombs were made by packing explosives in pressure cookers. The Varanasi police claimed HuJI had planned the blasts. The UP STF arrested Waliullah, the imam of a mosque in Allahabad, on April 5, 2006, and said he was the mastermind.

In December 2006, the police named Shamim in the chargesheet. Shamim too was never caught. But in 2008, aft...

India looking the wrong side!

China has the unpleasant habit to peep into everybody’s computers.In India, it is not a major issue as the nation is too busy trying to guess (if not bet on) the next move of the BCCI president.However, it does bother others. Quoting a new US report prepared by the Defence Science Board, Reuters recently mentioned Washington’s worries: “Chinese hackers have gained access to designs of more than two dozen major US weapons systems”. In Australia, the Chinese ‘dark visitors’ probably have done better: they are said to have stolen the blueprints of the country’s new intelligence headquarters. Quoting the US report, The Washington Post affirmed that the ‘hacked’ designs included advanced Patriot missile system, the Navy’s Aegis ballistic missile defence systems, the F/A-18 fighter jet, the V-22 Osprey, the Black Hawk helicopter and the F-35 strike fighter. Many rightly ask whether China really has the ability to bring down the communication networks and corrupt v...

Processed Meats Declared Too Dangerous for Human Consumption! The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has just completed a detailed review of more than 7,000 clinical studies covering links between diet and cancer. Its conclusion is rocking the health world with startling bluntness: Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Consumers should stop buying and eating all processed meat products for the rest of their lives. Processed meats include bacon, sausage, ho t dogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and virtually all red meat used in frozen prepared meals.
