Abdul Subhan Qureshi, known as India's bin Laden, named as bombing suspect

Jeremy Page in Delhi

Judging by Abdul Subhan Qureshi’s early CV he should be a poster boy of the new India: educated at a church school, he studied electronics and software before joining a high-tech firm in Bombay in 1996.

Instead, this is the man now being described as India’s Osama bin Laden.

Police today named Mr Qureshi, 36, as the main suspect in the multiple bombings that killed at least 24 people in popular shopping areas in Delhi on Saturday.

They also suspect that he was behind a similar attack that killed 61 in the city of Jaipur in May, and two others that killed 45 people in Bangalore and Ahmedabad in July.

Upon reaching 15% of the population... Muslims inject explosives into the national, political discourse.

Few years ago, Dawood Ibrahim was India’s Osama, residing in Karachi and Dubai.

So, a jihadi gets an apparently decent life, good education, career and opts for jihad.

From what I’ve heard, Dawood is anything but a Muslim nut-he’s just a common criminal out to make money.He allowed his resources to be used for the Bombay blasts of 93 because the ISI threatened to finish off his smuggling business. Dawood is about as a lethal as a puppet-he can’t move an inch without the Pakis allowing him. Or using him.
