But this might interest you, last year during a trial, a hand granade was part of the evidence in the ATC Court here, and it was passed to the judge for examination, the idiot pulled the pin, and well.......BOOM! Lost both his hands. Lucky to be alive IMO.
Cheers!...on the rocks!!

The police manhunt here is massive.
Last night, I was returning home from my friend's place at about nine in the night. We were stopped as many as four times by cops at four different checkpoints who asked me for my driving license and checked my car every single time.
There is a sense of shock in Bangalore after the rape and killing of the HP employee and the terror attack at IISc. It's always been a peaceful city. Sad.

Attack in Bangalore has roots in Bangladesh
Neeraj Chauhan/ New Delhi
There are definite indications of the involvement of terrorist outfits with roots in Bangladesh in the attack on the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) at Bangalore on Wednesday night.

Mohammad Ibrahim, the Bangladeshi arrested by the Special Cell of Delhi Police in connection with the blast in Hyderabad, had disclosed during interrogations that IT centres like Bangalore were on the hitlist of leading terror outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyeba.
"The modus operandi of the terrorists who barged into the premises of IISc, outside the JN Tata Auditorium, more than suggests that it could have even been a fidayeen attack. The terrorists escaped since there was no retaliation from any quarter. These are tell-tale signs of Lashkar's involvement," said a senior Delhi Police official.
Initial investigations have hinted at the involvement of a four-member gang, which had executed the plan of attack, leaving a retired professor of IIT, Delhi, dead and four others wounded. Professor MC Puri's body was flown to the Capital on Thursday evening from Bangalore.
Though no terrorist outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack, the disclosure of Ibrahim clears the involvement of Lashkar indirectly with one of the Bangladeshi outfits.
Police officials here are of the opinion that Lashkar's offshoot Harkat-ul-Jihad was behind the killings as Ibrahim during his interrogations had specifically pointed out that Bangalore was the target for the next attack.
The blast at Hyderabad took place on October 12 last. "The attacks on two major metros are clear indication of Lashkar's growing tentacles in South India," said the officer and added: "These militants are trained by Inter-Services Intelligence of Pakistan and then sheltered in Bangladesh. Lashkar has been using Bangladeshi groups for striking in India and the alert given by intelligence agencies recently mentioned Bangalore and Hyderabad as the prime targets especially in context of the presence of American interests in the two city." "Both Hyderabad and Bangalore have more than 2,000 IT industries and they have been targeted because of increasing international trade of India, which Pakistan wants to neutralise," the officer added. Additionally Hyderabad is hosting the annual convention of Indian Science Congress in January.
NRIs are also meeting here in January for their annual Pravasi Bharat jamboree.
After the neutralisation of a sleeper cell of LeT in Delhi in March, the Delhi Police had repeatedly been sounding wake-up calls about plans of jihadi terrorists to target IT companies in Bangalore. Hoax calls to blow up IT companies in Bangalore since March have created an atmosphere of terror there.
The recent hoax message of an attempt by al Qaeda to blow up Parliament had also originated from Thirunelveli in Tamil Nadu. It is a hotbed of the activities of the Al Ummah, which had organised a number of serial blasts in Coimbatore in February 1998.
Following Wednesday's attack security has been beefed up in all the embassies, IT industries, government establishments, institutions, army establishments, public places and hotels in the capital and in all the metros.
The security officials are checking the railway stations in Delhi and all the vehicles entering the city from any of the route are going through tight vigil.Hala Madrid!!

IISc gunman nabbed in Chennai
DH News Service Bangalore: Jan 6, 2006
The assailant who killed retired IIT Professor M C Puri and injured four others on the IISc campus in Bangalore on December 28 is in police custody, sources in Tamil Nadu said.
Basheer, reportedly a maulvi from Mangalore, was nabbed in Chennai. He resembles the portrait of the suspect released by the Bangalore police recently, the sources said. He was brought with his accomplice Abdullah to Bangalore by the Lalbagh Express on Thursday night. After alighting from the train at 9.30 pm, Basheer was whisked away by police to an unknown destination in a white Scorpio.
Basheer was interrogated at the Chindadripet police station in Tamil Nadu for over 10 hours, police said. The police team also met the Chennai police commissioner before bringing Basheer to Bangalore.
During the interrogation it was found that Basheer knew only Urdu and Kannada, which indicated that he was not a native of Mangalore. This was construed from the fact that Mangalore-based Muslims usually speak the Beary language. He is likely to have moved to Mangalore recently and probably resided in north India earlier, the sources said. The interrogation was conducted by the Tamil Nadu police in association with their Bangalore counterparts and intelligence officers, sources said.
However, Dakshina Kannada Madrasa Managements Association President T Hussein said no maulvi from the district had been arrested.
Bangalore Police Commissioner Ajai Kumar Singh denied having any knowledge about anybody having been nabbed in Chennai or Kolar. He told reporters that the “LeT man” Abdul Rehman had provided vital leads and the police was working on them. He refused to comment on speculation that Rehman was not a top LeT operative. Mr Singh also said he had nothing to say with regard to Rehman’s wife’s statement that her husband was not a militant. Meanwhile, senior officials led by Mr Singh held a meeting with top IISc authorities on Thursday to discuss security measures. IISc Director P Balaram had earlier refused to accept police security inside the campus, saying it would harm the image of the institute. Abdul Rehman’s family said he was associated with Islamic religious centres in Saudi Arabia, UNI reports from Nalgonda, Andhra Pradesh.
According to members of his family, Rehman was a bright student at school and took the 80th rank in the state’s polytechnic common test. He was very religious, never used tobacco or alcohol and, they said, had not watched even a single movie in his life. After he went to Saudi Arabia in 1993 to work as a driver-***-salesman, he developed a rapport with local Islamic centres. He rendered “services” to these centres for at least ten days every month. He married in 1999 and took his wife Salma to Saudi Arabia. Rehman sent his wife and three sons to Nalgonda about a year ago.
He returned to Nalgonda 20 days before the Ramzan festival in 2004 and brought with him a quantity of Islamic literature and books. He spent most of his time distributing the literature to people in Nalgonda.
During Ramzan he distributed clothes, cash and rice to 15 poor Muslims, they said.
Rehman taken to Mangalore
Suspected LeT operative Abdul Rehman was taken to Mangalore late on Thursday night, after he revealed that he had contacts with some prominent people there.
He is said to have informed police about some “recruitments” made in Mangalore and about people already working on various “missions”. Taking Rehman to Mangalore is likely to throw light on the militant network that has developed in south India, sources said.
