| NEW DELHI: India’s best-known underworld figure and Mumbai blasts mastermind Dawood Ibrahim has been placed in the same category as top Al-Qaida operatives with Interpol issuing a 'special notice'against him, which also discloses his various addresses, including one in a posh colony in Karachi.
The special notice, which is circulated to UN member nations, has details of Dawood’s 11 passports and 16 aliases. Interpol now recognises Dawood as part of the worldwide terror syndicate of Osama bin Laden whose Al-Qaida is lead member of the 17-member World Jihad Council. Dawood’s operations have spanned Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman. The notice, which has also been forwarded to the National Central Bureau (Interpol, New Delhi), discloses the don’s two Karachi addresses and hints at his 'possible'hideout at NU 37, 30th Street, Defence Housing Authority. The second one is mentioned as White House, near Saudi Mosque, Clifton Road. With the notice confirming Pakistan as the base of Dawood’s operations, it will make it more difficult for Islamabad, and the terrorist’s ISI mentors, to host him. Global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim has been aware that an Interpol notice against him was on its way and intelligence reports have indicated his growing restlessness as he hunts for safe houses in Pakistan. The general secretariat of Interpol at Lyon, France, forwarded contents of the new notice to all 184-member countries on Thursday asking them to freeze the D-company CEO’s assets, place a travel ban and arms embargo as "Dawood is the subject of UN’s anti-terrorism sanctions." Interpol vice-president and former CBI director U S Misra told TOI that the special notice would create pressure on Pakistan, which was not only an active member but had also signed up to the UN Security Council’s resolutions to fight against terrorism. Misra said: "It is a kind of notice issued against terrorists associated with Al-Qaida organisation. It is, therefore, different from existing Red Corner Notice (RCN) issued against any absconding criminal." Going by the identity documents forwarded to the Interpol member countries, Dawood, who sometimes also used the name of his brother Anees Ibrahim as one of his aliases in different countries, has as many as 11 passports issued from India, Pakistan, UAE and Yemen. While eight out of 11 passports of the don were issued from Mumbai (India), one each out of remaining three was issued from Pakistan, Yemen and UAE. The details show that he had got his Pakistani passport (No.-G866537), the latest among all 11, on August 12, 1991, clearly indicating his liasion with Pakistani elements much before the 1993 Mumbai blasts. He had got his UAE passport (No.-A717288) in August, 1985 and one from Yemen (No.-F823692) in September, 1989. His last Indian passport (No.-A501801) dates back to July 26, 1985, issued from Mumbai. source |
Simply, I do not understand whay every terrorist considers Pakistan his home. Pakistan is facilitating them to perform their terrorist activites. The recent Pakistani addresses and passport no.s of International terrorist Dawood Ibrahim issued by Interpol just shows that. Hopefully, the recent special notice against dawood ibrahim will put some pressure on Pakistan.
