Bio: Ajmal Amir Kamal (the terrorist)
One of the 10 terrorist who was captured alive by Mumbai police has exposed many things during the interrogation. Here’s his description:
Age: 21
Location: Reportedly lived in Faridkot village( population around 3,000), Dipalpur tehsil, of Okara district, 50km east of Multan – Pakistan’s Punjab province
India Identity: Samir Chaudhary, a student of Arunodaya PG college.
Family: Ajmal belong to Qasai caste. He is the third of five siblings. His father Mohammad Amir Iman, runs dahi-puri cart in Faridkot near Multan while his elder brother Afzal, age 25, stays in Lahore, near Yadgar Nagar and works as a labourer. His mother Noor Elahi is a housewife and his elder sister, Rukaiyya Husain, age 22, is married. A younger sister Suraiyya, age 14, and a brother Munir, age 11, stay in Faridkot with the parents.
Education and Poverty: Ajmal’s poor father can’t keep him in the local government primary school. In 2000, 13-yr-old Ajmal , who has done just class 4, is sent off to his brother Afzal in Lahore. The elder brother, then 17, hardly has the means to look after his young brother Ajmal shuttles between Lahore and Faridkot village. Due to poverty, Ajmal left his house in 2005 and moved to Lahore.
Another source DNA says his father asked him to work for LeT two years before so that he could use this money to run the family.
Beginning of the end: In Lahore he didnot stay with his brother. He stayed at the shrine of holy man Syed Ali Hajveri. Like his elder brother, started working as labourer. Later he didnot find the job good. From thereon he was attracted to petty crime. With friend Muzaffar Lal Khan, he launched a new career in armed robberies . On Dec 21, 2007, Bakr-Eid day, they went to Rawalpindi to buy weapons. It’s here that they ran into activists of Jamaat-ud-Dawa – Lashkar-e-Taiba’s political wing – handing out pamphlets about their organization. After a brief chat, the duo sign up – not because of their conviction but for the training they might get. That, they feel, would further their career in crime Reach LeT’s base camp, Markaz Taiba.
The training: In the training programme, he was shown films on India’s alleged atrocities in Kashmir, and fiery lectures by preachers, including Lashkar chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed’s talks, which led him to believe the Lashkar’s cause was worth giving his life. The camp gave him a sense of belonging that he never had in his family . When he used to come home during a 2-month breaks he found suddenly being treated with respect by his family and community kin After this break, Ajmal was chosen for for LeT’s basic combat course, Daura Aam. He did well and was chosen with small group of 32 for advanced training, Daura Khaas, at a camp near Manshera. Did well there too and was selected for high-skill marine commando and navigation training, especially imparted to the team of 10 fidayeen team, chosen to attack Mumbai. (Source: Times of India)
Sail to Mumbai: At 4.15 am, on Nov 23, Ajmal with the unit, sail off from a forlorn creeknear Karachi, each equipped with AK-47 s, 200 rounds of ammo and grenades Just before his departure, LeT military commander Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi promised Ajmal a reward of Rs 1.5 lakh to his family for his sacrifice in the cause of Islam.

Mumbai: We want action
Its game over. Around 200 dead, over 350 injured. It can be easily said that terrorist succedded.
Who are these terrorist?? Whose fault was is? Was it Pakistan?
People of India want answers to these questions.. We will not sit back and surf news channel to see what will happen. Its time for us to raise our voice. These terrorists were linked with Pakistan. It gives me no reason to doubt their link but I will still not say Pakistan is a terrorist nation. I will also not say that Muslims are terrorist. But I will difinitely say that they all are always linked with terrorism. Most of the terrorist are from Pakistan. Most of the terrorist are Muslim. I would not like to make any religious statement. I should also mention some Hinud militants who were involved in Samjhauta and Malegaon blast.
But this post is to question Pakistan in their effort to bring peace with India. Dont they know where the militant camps are? Dont they know where Dawood is hiding? Is their intelligence agency completely un aware of these activities taking place? I dont know whom to blame – ISI, government, militants or Pakistan. We dont know anything.. but what we know is they are linked with Pakistan. So it is pretty obvious to raise finger on Pakistan. They have to answer our question or we will continue to protest against Pakistan? WE WANT ANSWER TO MUMBAI TERRORISM. When Pakistan gives us this answer, we will go forward for peace. Else our armymen and devastating arms are ready to look for answers. Time to raise red flag and not white.

Mumbai Massacre
Mumbai- the city which never sleeps truly was the city which could not sleep.
People around the world maynot have seen anything like this before. Its been more than 50 hours and still they are alive with same passion and hunger to create havoc. Around 20 men loaded with AK-47’s, grenade attacked Mumbai at the wee hours. Its so painful to hear the way they open fired at a Cafe and Bus Terminal. Then they attacked the 2 biggest hotel – Taj Mahal and Trident-Oberoi. People are bleeding. India is bleeding. And now is the time to hit back at those who supported all this. This is the voice of India. For how long we will live accepting the sound of explosives, living as if we never saw everything. We always say- its the spirit of Mumbai. NOT NOW.
Can we go with same ease to multiplex and restaurant? Can we jog early morning with the same pace as we used to do before? Can we sleep with same pleasure as we used to do before? May be we can…. after all its the spirit of our country. But we will not. If we do then this day will become nothing but add few more pages to the history. Let this day mark the beginning of new era. Let us prove ourselves as world power. We have been too mallow to the terrorists and the supporting countries. Time to hit them back.
Few days back we hoisted flag on moon. It gives me immense pain to say that we have not been able to hoist flag peacefully on our soil. Its hurting us. We are investing millions into missile program but is it protecting our country? We want investment that can save our country from these crisis. We should invest our money to strengthen intelligence agency, root out corruption, protect the country.
Its time now for political parties to join hand and fight for a common cause. Indians pray to congress and BJP to not involve religion before the election. We should learn from US where democrats and republicans join hands to save their countrymen. If our politicians do not do it then they should be convicted of crime more heinous than this one. Lets forget personal differences and fight for the country.
This day will end soon but we the biggest days are ahead of us.
