U.K. court orders extradition of ‘Tiger' Hanif to India

After nearly two decades, the law has finally caught up with ‘Tiger' Hanif, an alleged associate of the underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. A British court has ordered his extradition to India, where he is wanted for his role in two terror attacks in Gujarat.

Hanif, 51, whose full name is Mohammed Hanif Umerji Patel, has been charged with involvement in a grenade attack in a crowded market at Surat in January 1993, in which an eight-year-old schoolgirl was killed and more than a dozen people were injured. He has also been accused of leading an attack on a jam-packed railway platform at Surat three months later, in which 12 people were seriously wounded. After the attacks, which followed anti-Muslim riots in the State in 1992, Hanif fled to Pakistan before ending up in Britain. He was arrested in February 2010, after Scotland Yard detectives, acting on an Interpol warrant, found him working in a grocery store at Bolton, a town in north-west England.

Indian authorities sought his extradition on charges of conspiracy to murder and to cause an explosion. He is also accused of helping one of his accomplices escape by giving him cash, a weapon and a passport.

The prosecution told the court that Hanif wanted to “get revenge” for the 1992 anti-Muslim violence and used charitable donations to a Muslim refugee camp to fund the bombing campaign. “This defendant played a prominent role in setting up a … camp for Muslim refugees. The refugee camp had a fund … set up to collect donations, and it was agreed by this defendant and three other witnesses that the fund would be employed to buy weapons,” prosecutor Clare Montgomery said.

Mohmad Ghadliali, a co-conspirator, said in a witness statement that the decision to obtain weapons “for revenge” was taken at a meeting attended by him, Hanif and two others.

Lawyers for Hanif opposed extradition, arguing that he would be tortured by Indian investigators.

But a Westminster magistrate on Wednesday rejected the claims and ordered his extradition, describing him as a “classic fugitive.”

first, I have made a post regarding CIA's and MI6's involvements in terrorists activities in India as below:

http://www.defence.pk/forums/strate...ounty-international-court-39.html#post2778474

Its hard to tell to the common people of India but it’s a truth that all the terrorist attacks on India have a link to US and UK. It has been proved that whatever terrorist attacks India faced during last 20 years were linked with Dawoon Ibrahim and it is well known that Dawood Ibrahim is an asset of CIA. Even if India lost lives of around 600 to 800 people in different terrorist attacks in 2008, which were organized by rogue agents of ISI, it was also found that those rouge ISI agents were double agents who were working for MI6/ CIA. We find Pakistan is always controlled by US/ UK and nothing they can do until US/ UK want them. Even if India lost over 20,000 lives in Kashmir during 1989 to 2007, it was directly or indirectly backed by US/ UK and they recognized terrorism only after 9/11 2001 attack on US. It has been proved that US/ West don’t recognize terrorism until they lose lives of their own people also and their government agencies like CIA/ MI6 have been giving protection to the most wanted Indian terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim and his men. Tax payers of US/ UK use their tax money to fund the terrorist organizations like CIA/ MI6 of West to kill people of developing countries like India, it’s a truth, whether we accept it or not :wave:

I would recommend, Indian government would make sure that the governments of West would understand that people are people, whether its Westerners or Indians. And if their government agencies organize terrorist attacks on the Indian cities then India would also use RAW to give a ‘fit’ response to these Western countries. If CIA/ MI6 may use terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim and his men to kill over 800 in 2008, by using ‘Indian Mujahidin’ through the double agents of ISI who work for their Western lords, then Raw would also make sure that they would also have those terrorists in their pocket who may score at least a similar number in US/ UK to make them understand meaning of lives of Indian people. I would strongly recommend that RAW would give a type of ‘security guarantee’ to new AL Qaeda chief AL Zawahiri until CIA is keeping Dawood Ibrahim in their pocket. And if men of CIA organize killing of 200 people, like in Mumbai attack 2008, RAW would make sure at least 800 British/ Americans would also be killed in response to make their tax payers understand meaning of lives of Indian people. Congress government must not let India become a weak country like Afghanistan where CIA’s drone drop bombs on the big ceremonies and kill over 40 -50 people in hunt of just 2-3 militants. Traitor leaders of Congress must not let India become as weak country as Afghanistan that one day CIA/ MI6 may organize terrorist attacks on India to bargain Indian national interests in return of security of India, from their own terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim. There is no meaning of extradition of the terrorists like ‘Tiger’ if their handlers are not punished, who handled them for over last 18 years :sniper:

Indian government must not ignore a ‘bottom line’ truth that for the government agencies of US/ UK/ West, people means only their own western people. And to fulfill national interests of their people, CIA/ MI6 may organize terrorist attacks on any part of the world, like how they did in India in past also. I remember, around 2 years before, US said they will not apologize to Japanese for the nuclear attacks during WW2 if Japan also doesn’t apologize for its attack on Pearl Harbor. Its because, even today, US knows that even if they dropped nuclear bomb on the Japanese people walking on the streets of Japan then it were Japanese not Americans/ western and they did that because Japan killed American/ western people in Pearl Harbor attack. Even if the nuclear bomb was dropped on the Japanese civilians walking on the streets of Japan, not on the Japanese military, even after 60 years since then, US is stick with a demand that Japan would first apologize for its killing of Americans in Pearl Harbor and then they will apologize for their nuclear attack on Japanese civilians. And Indian government must not forget that Japanese troops didn’t surrender after the first nuclear attack but after the second nuclear bomb dropped on Japan after just 2 days, when it got clear that if the Japanese troops don’t surrender then US may drop many more nuclear bombs on the Japanese women and kids walking on the streets :pop:

What I mean, until Indian government and RAW make the US/ West realize that people are people, Indians or Westerners, CIA/ MI6 won’t understand why they won’t try to blackmail the Indian government by using the terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim. Traitors like Manmohan Singh/ Rahul Gandhi/ Sonia Gandhi/ DIgvijay Singh must not let India become a weak country like Afghanistan/ Iraq. Until CIA/ MI6 don’t come clean with surrendering all the criminals wanted in India, who are being defended in US/ UK/ West, RAW would also keep the people like Al Zawahiri in its pocket to respond these countries in case of any type of terrorist attacks backed by the people like Dawood Ibrahim who are CIA’s asset :tup:

UK Prosecutors Drop Charges Against Iqbal Mirchi

London, November 16: British prosecutors today decided not to underworld Don Dawood Ibrahim, a first assistant Iqbal Mirchi in relation to a case in which he was accused of threatening to kill the man, citing lack of evidence.

British Crown Prosecution Service said today that it has decided to discontinue charges against Muhammad Iqbal Memon, also known as Iqbal Mirchi is wanted in India in 1993 Mumbai blast case.

“The prosecution of cases to keep a constant eye on. Following a review of evidence in this case, the decision to discontinue these charges has been taken, because the evidence was not sufficient to provide a realistic prospect of conviction”, the CPS said the statement.

It noted that “if the relevant evidence or information is discovered later, the decision to leave may be reconsidered.”

Mirchi, believed to be a close associate of Dawood, was previously in charge at trial and the Court of Redbridge in the UK last month. His extradition has been requested by India in connection with the case of the Mumbai blasts.

He was accused of threatening to kill 41-year-old, who is considered Nadeem Kader who also lives in Hornchurch in Essex, where it owns a six-bedroom Mirchi reports house.Earlier Kader said he was the grandson of Mirchi.

In a statement released by his lawyer, Mirchi said, “I am grateful to the British courts to investigate the false allegations against me so quickly and stop all proceedings against me.

Mirchi said the allegations of death threats against him were motivated and also blamed the Indian media that portray the bad light.

“I have always protested my innocence, and it is now proved. I believe that the allegations of death threats against me was motivated by a conspiracy to extort money from me which was unsuccessful.

“I have the incorrect description of the Indian press over twenty years without any evidence. I hope that this problem is now to stop all malicious reports against me.

“I am very grateful to God and I am pleased that finally justice has won,” he said.

Today Britain has become sanctuary of all those criminals who have committed different crimes in their home countries and want protection. And the loyalists of British royal family, including British government, give them all type of support if these criminals/corrupts can prove themselves for any use for Britain, in return of being defended in Britain.:pop:

Today, Britain is the only place of the world where not only professional criminals but also the political criminals/corrupts are getting protection, and only these people may help Britain to get progress; this is what British rulers believe now days. and as country like India is scared with this sanctuary of corrupts/criminals which is intended to interfere in the internal matters of other countries, to create problems for them to fulfill different national interests of Britain, the nation. so every one is scared of them :cry: (for example, this is a Pakistan’s forum and have a look on the number of corrupt diplomats/ politicians who are wanted by Pakistan’s police but are being defended by the British government including former Pakistani president Mr P Musharraf who is charged for murder cases also? :hang2:)

Now days British rulers are picking all those nationals of different developing countries who have criminal background/ corruption cases and in return of being defended, they are ready to work for the loyalists of British royal family/ the British government.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I tried to find out why Britain has become this big problem for the whole world that they are now in search of people of wrong background only to fulfill their different national interests? Then here we have example of this M-MRCA deal of India, (the link as below). Britian is making so much noise on MRCA as their over 4,000 jobs are threatened after losing this deal while EFT Typhoon is mainly developed by Germany ;), And their other future aircraft, F35/ JSF, is being made by US. While winner of MMRCA, the Rafale, is made by just one country, the France, including its engine so France is confident to make new technologies by themselves in future and can get progress by themselves. While these main pigs of the world, the British, are either relying on the technologies developed by US+EU, or, they are picking all those corrupts and criminals who have committed different crimes in their home countries and can be of any use for Britain, the nation, to help Britain get progress by either way. Only this type of corrupts and criminals can help Britain get progress, the belief common British nationals have got right now :hitwall:

one day, India will finally have to declare the British origin politicians/diplomats, the national enemies of India. there is no meaning to cheat ourselves, and having friendship with these people has only one meaning, you want to give them enough space to destroy your country. right now, US/UK/Australia etc have infused their every resource to get something done in India, to buy its diplomats/bureaucrats/ politicians/ businessmen etc. and if you dont take proper action in this regard then it only means that soon US/UK will have done the same in India, what they have done in Pakistan. :wave:
India would adopt China model to resist these people and have higher progress at the same time.....:china:

its not just that many wanted criminals are given protection by the British government but terrorists also.... I think, if we want to find out rest of the Al Qaeda leaders then we now need to bomb on Britain, as below :meeting:

British al-Qaeda hub 'is biggest in West'

Britain has the greatest number of Islamic extremists linked to al-Qaeda of any Western country and poses a grave risk to international security, the US government believes.

Terrorist groups are using the UK as a base to plot terrorism attacks around the world, American officials have disclosed.

The level of al-Qaeda activity in the UK is a “major source of concern” in Washington.

American leaders believe Gordon Brown's government is failing to combat the threat of extremism among Muslims living in Britain.

“The UK has the greatest concentration of active al-Qaeda supporters of any Western country,” a senior US official told the Daily Telegraph.

“As a result, no Western country has been more threatened than the UK, but the UK-based al-Qaeda network poses not only a potent threat to Britain but to the rest of the world.”

The disclosure of American fears will increase Transatlantic tensions over the attempted terrorist attack on an airliner over Detroit last month.

The would-be suicide bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has said his attack was inspired and directed by al-Qaeda.

It has been claimed he was radicalised in London, where the bomber, a Nigerian, was a student between 2005 and 2008. British officials insist that he became a terrorist in Yemen.

American officials believe that European Muslims are more likely than their counterparts in the United States to subscribe to extremist doctrines.

The US prides itself on “assimilating” all immigrant groups into mainstream culture, while European nations including Britain have pursued a policy of multiculturalism. Critics say it leaves Muslims at risk of being alienated from wider society and susceptible to radical movements.

“The level of al-Qaeda activity in Britain is becoming a major source of concern,” said a senior State Department official.

“The organisation’s ability to use Britain as a base to plot terror attacks constitutes a serious threat to the security of Britain and other Western countries.”

The failed Detroit attack has renewed international attention on Britain’s record in dealing with international terrorism.

Abdulmutallab’s attack was the third al-Qaeda attempt to bring down a US-bound plane linked to Britain. In 2001, Richard Reid, from London, tried to explode a bomb hidden in his shoe on a flight to Miami.

In 2006, a plot by Islamic extremists to blow up transatlantic airliners using homemade liquid bombs was foiled.

Among some US politicians and security experts, the British capital has been dubbed “Londonistan” because of the presence of so many radical Muslims and mosques with connections to extremist preachers.

British universities are a particular concern. Abdulmutallab was president of the Islamic Society at University College London between 2006 and 2007, while he was studying for an engineering degree. UCL, together with many other British universities, has been accused of failing to stop radical preachers giving talks on campus for fear of being accused of Islamophobia.

Although the July 7 attacks in London in 2005 were the only fatal al-Qaeda attacks in the UK, many other plots have been disrupted. In 2006, British police disrupted an al-Qaeda plot to explode liquid bombs on several Transatlantic airliners, an operation officers said could have killed thousands of people.

Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, has said that his service was aware of around 2,000 radicalised Muslims in Britain who might be involved in terrorism plots.

The Security Service has not updated that number since, but American officials believe it is now even higher.

United States intelligence officers are also gravely concerned about the number of British Muslims travelling to Yemen to become involved in extremist activity. Yemen is emerging as a focus for international counter-terrorism, as intensive military activity forces al-Qaeda to reduce its activity on the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Yesterday, launching his party’s new national security strategy, David Cameron, the Conservative leader, suggested that immigration systems are allowing dangerous extremists to enter the UK.

“There’s not much point having tougher laws to deport people who are a threat to Britain if at the same time we don’t have a proper border police force to stop unwanted people from coming in,” he said.

The stark American assessment of Britain’s position is, however, at odds with the optimism of British officials.

Last year, the official UK “threat level” was lowered, and Whitehall officials have claimed that British intelligence agencies have identified every significant terrorist cell in the country.

Earlier this month, relations between London and Washington were strained over just what information about Abdulmutallab had been passed to the US authorities by British intelligence agencies.

Downing Street has said that more than a years ago, MI5 passed on “security information” about Abdulmutallab’s links to radical preachers. However, US officials have insisted that any information passed on did not identify him as a potential terrorist.
