| 'American linked with India blasts' July 30, 2008 presstv.ir | |
Police in Mumbai traced an e-mail claiming responsibility for the blasts back to the residence of Kenneth Haywood in Navi Mumbai, a satellite city across the water from India's commercial capital, AP reported. The security personnel also seized a computer from which the e-mail was sent. The e-mail claimed responsibility for Ahmadabad bombings that killed 45 people. Mumbai police said it had questioned the 48-year-old US citizen but did not arrest him; as they were still investigating whether he was involved or his e-mail account was hacked. "He is a suspect, yes," said a police officer involved in the investigation. Saturday's e-mail, sent from a Yahoo account and written in English, was made available to the media. Political analysts in India and local media reports have not ruled out the involvement of external powers in the weekend's serial bombings. JR/MMN |
Mumbai ATS arrest three in terror mail case

AHMEDABAD/ MUMBAI: It is not just the 19 serial blasts, the whole terror operation is an example of meticulous planning -a combination of technological expertise and brute power to strike terror.
Sending the threat mail from an unsecured connection was the first step towards creating mayhem in Ahmedabad.
At Gunina CHS plot in Sanpada, Mumbai, an uninvited visitor frequently visited calling. He claimed to be an internet network professional. This was the same flat where a computer network had been hacked into by terrorists to send that terror mail just five minutes before the serial blasts triggered off in Ahmedabad.
Investigations carried out by the Mumbai ATS and IB officials reveal that this uninvited visitor was a terror operative in disguise.
The operative had tampered with the internet router in the building, made it insecure to allow terrorists to hack into it and send threat mail. Ahmedabad cops have asked for the details of the system specifications to know more about the sender.
Mumbai Anti-Terrorists Squad (ATS) officials on Wednesday confirmed that they have arrested three people "involved with the terror mail" . However, their identities and professions are a closely-guarded secret.
"The network professional had changed the specifications of the internet router in the building. This could then be used by any user, standing outside with a laptop and a Wi-fi internet device to tap into it. The same router was then used to send the terror mail. The local residents later told us that the man in question had visited the building four times in last fortnight. When asked about the purpose of visit, he insisted that he had come to repair the network that was malfunctioning. No complaint had been made though. We believe that he had got the connection unsecure and thus accessible to other wi-fi enabled computers in the vicinity," said an ATS official.
Earlier, the investigating officials had tracked down the connection registered on the name of one Camp Kell White, a foreign national, staying as a tenant in the flat of Abhishek Sharma.
Initially the officials believed that Sharma's computer was used to send the mail. However, when the officials matched the Machine Access Control (MAC) of the connection with the IP found, they got to know that the internet connection was used with the help of a router with 150 feet range. However, White has not been released by the Mumbai police officials after investigation on Wednesday.
"The discovery shows that the men we are dealing with are not illiterate youth razing up buildings. They are well-versed in computer technology and can use the knowledge for their benefit. More details about their grand plan can only be known after arrest of group members," said the official.
