Delhi Targeted Again

Looking back at history, one can say that no city in the world has seen so much bloodshed as Delhi. Once again, bomb blasts rocked the Indian capital, leaving 20 dead (as per latest reports) and scores injured. Unsurprisingly, the self-style 'Indian Mujahideen' group claimed responsibility, ostensibly carrying out this murderous assault in 'the name of Allah'. May Allah 'reward' them with the severest of retributions in the hereafter for sullying His name. Many people in my community still want to bury their heads in the sand by blaming everyone else for these attacks but the time has come to fight this enemy within. There is a real problem facing the Muslim community and unless we act now, there will be far-reaching consequences. At the same time, the Govt also has the responsibility to make policing more effective and improve the intelligence network. After each such tragedy, the authorities claim to have busted the so-called SIMI network but the bombs keep coming. Maybe the police and intelligence agencies should talk less and act more discreetly to keep the enemy guessing!
