A 61-year-old American national, identified as Winston Marshal Carmichael, was detained at the Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi on late on Wednesday night minutes before he was to board a Qatar-bound flight after a knife was found in his hand baggage.
Reminiscent of the case of 26/11-terror suspect David Coleman Headley, arrested in Chicago in October last for allegedly plotting terror strikes in India, Carmichael is a convert from Christianity to Islam
. The New York resident changed his religion some 40 years ago. Carmichael, who was flying to Doha in a Qatar Airways flight, is being questioned by the security agencies and the American Mission had been informed about the same, sources said.
The New York resident had arrived in India for the first time a fortnight ago on a tourist visa and travelled to various parts of the national capital.
Carmichael, who has a tourist visa to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, came to India from Pakistan. He had visited Pakistan and Bangladesh on earlier occasions also.
Delhi Police Special Cell and Intelligence Bureau are questioning him.
According to airport sources, during the security check Central Industrial Security Force found the knife concealed between a herbal plant ‘Shilajit’.
He was then handed over to the police.

New Delhi:
SNIPPET: “Subsequent inquiries with the NYPD have revealed that Carmicheal, a convert to Islam, has earlier being charged with dug related offences and some petty crimes in the States and some discrepancies in his Indian visa application but no terror connection has been unearthed.
Government sources said that the CISF at IGIA detained Carmicheal as he could not provide satisfactory answers to queries on why he was carrying the blade. His past record has revealed that he had travelled to Pakistan and then flown to Bangladesh before coming to India. He crossed into India from Haridaspur border on Indo-Bangladesh border.”

SNIPPET: “This was his third visit to India; he had visited Pakistan and Bangladesh on earlier occasions also.”
Is there a photo of this fellow?
Its a pity he was not apprehended earlier. The Pakistani and Bangladeshi stamps on his passport should have given him away earlier. Its surprising that he would make such a stupid mistake of placing a knife in the hand baggage but then radical Islam does surprising things to people.
