An organisation is banned because of its known ideologies and actions that are detrimental to the interests of the State. An organisation is made up of members who subscribe to these ideologies. It is not necessary that one should necessarily be involved in the activities . They are subscribed to the ideologies. I think that’s more than sufficient to term them as criminals. If the Court’s observation is to be taken literally, then being a member of SS or Nazi Youth is no crime; -Of Al Qaeda is no crime. -Of Jihadis no crime. Pray tell me what is the meaning of collective responsibility?
On torture /third Degree methods-
True.
What is the alternative?
Do you request the accused ?
There are instances where when you know a crime has been committed, the accused declares in News Channels that the charges are baseless and a Cabinet minister who is a part of the Government that should try him states the information that forms the basis for prosecution is wrong and questions the integrity of the Authority. of the organisation.
Please suggest a practical solution instead making moralistic statements.An organisation is banned because of its known ideologies and actions that are... more

It's been nearly a year since Pakistani militants' deadly attacks on Mumbai, and the NY Times reports that the group responsible, Lashkar-e-Taiba, is still alive and kicking.
Despite pledges from Pakistan to dismantle militant groups operating on its soil, and the arrest of a handful of operatives, Lashkar has persisted, even flourished, since 10 recruits killed 163 people in a rampage through Mumbai, India’s financial capital, last November.
Indian and Pakistani dossiers on the Mumbai investigations, copies of which were obtained by The New York Times, offer a detailed picture of the operations of a Lashkar network that spans Pakistan. It included four houses and two training camps here in this sprawling southern port city [Karachi] that were used to prepare the attacks.
Not great news for India or for India's testy relationship with its neighbor, Pakistan. The NYTimes also points out that the influence of the group could hurt coalition efforts in Afghanistan. Pakistan has become the fulcrum of a lot of the battle against international terror, what with the remnants of Al Qaeda in its Northwest Frontier Province, and being the home base for the Mumbai attacks of last year. But is Pakistan doing enough to combat terror? Is the ISI, the country's spy agency, secretly backing some of these groups? Or does the government have enough power to effectively fight terror?

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - The Sri Lankan cricket team ambush shows the security system has collapsed in Pakistan since the pro-Western government took office a year ago, a leading opposition politician charged Thursday.
The fallout from Tuesday's attack is adding to political problems facing the shaky government just as Washington wants it to stay focused on the fight against al-Qaida and the Taliban.
Under intense pressure to show progress in the investigation, authorities claimed to have identified the heavily armed terrorists and were questioning several people, but appeared to have made no major arrests. The gunmen escaped into the teeming city of Lahore following the ambush.
The country's cricket chief, meanwhile, dismissed as "totally fabricated" claims by British referee Chris Broad that police abandoned him and other match officials during the ambush by between 12 and 14 gunmen close to a stadium in Lahore in eastern Punjab province.LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - The Sri Lankan cricket team ambush shows the security system... more

Pakistan is cracking down on the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group, suspected of being behind the Mumbai attacks—arresting two senior leaders, operational commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, top operations official Zarar Shah, along with 20 more militants arrested at offices for the group. But diplomats are calling the arrests a relatively easy first step and say the bigger question is what Pakistan will do about Lashkar’s parent organization, Jamaat-ud-Dawa. A senior official told The Wall Street Journal the crackdown against Lashkar “could be expanded to other areas and eventually include Jamaat.” The Bush administration has its own ideas for punishing Lashkar, asking the United Nations to put several prominent Pakistanis on a financial blacklist for supporting the group. "This could mark a paradigm shift," said Nick Maceus, a South Asia expert. "It would really send a chill down the spine of Pakistan's security services."Pakistan is cracking down on the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group, suspected of being... more

Federal authorities have stepped up scrutiny of suspected members of Lashkar-e-Taiba or LeT "sleeper cells" located in the United States.
According to federal officials, LeT cells within America are made up of U.S.-born Muslims as well as young Muslims from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf states, Yemen, Somalia and others. Those jihadi agents coming from abroad do so with the intention of embedding themselves in communities, working or running their own businesses that can act as a cover for their illegal activities, federal officials said.
According to former CIA officials, terrorists pick run-down, seedy neighborhoods and dress shabbily so that they can be invisible. In poor areas, people keep to themselves, mind their own business and do not ask questions, these sources said.Federal authorities have stepped up scrutiny of suspected members of Lashkar-e-Taiba... more
