Obama vowed to hold Islamabad accountable for the massive military aid it has received from Washington if he is elected to the White House.

Mosques lead attack on terror

From Friday, the old, rusty loudspeakers atop the numerous mosques in Mumbai's far-flung northern suburb Mira Road started beaming a distinctly new message.

Before and after each azaan or prayer, imams of at least 24 of the 30-odd local mosques are asking residents to report suspicious terror-linked activity to either the mosque authorities or the police.

With the tremors of 31 bombings in Gujarat and Karnataka in the last two months still being felt across the nation, Mira Road, usually in the news for drinking water crises, has had a bigger reason to worry.

While all l6 suspects in these bombings are Muslims, Mira Road has housed the A-League of suspects like prime accused in the 11/7 Mumbai train blasts Asif Khan and Ehtesham Siddique and Ahmedabad serial blasts key suspect techie Abdul Subhan.

Navi Mumbai, the new terror hub

How a wifi link was stolen investigations into Saturday's Ahmedabad serial bombings have thrown up the first clues: the terror operations were likely planned in Navi Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra.

It is now emerging that someone logged in to American manager Kenneth Haywood's Wi-Fi connection - installed in his apartment in Navi Mumbai - to send the e-mail warning of a terror strike, minutes before the first bombs went off, intelligence officials told the Hindustan Times on condition of anonymity .

Three of the four car-bombs in Gujarat were stolen from Navi Mumbai and the fourth was traced to an area near Nashik, said officials of Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) in Mumbai. The findings came on a day when the death toll crossed 50, a bomb was defused in Surat, and tense Indian cities were flooded with bomb hoaxes.

Terror Returns To Jammu

In a dastardly attack, the biggest in Jammu region since 2002, militants struck in the border town of Samba, killing five people, including a woman hostage and a photojournalist.

Two militants holed up in a house were killed on Sunday evening after a fierce, 13 hour encounter. The militants had taken six people, including women and children, hostage.

The attack, the first major terror strike since the one on Raghunath temple in November 2002, came close on the heels of an infiltration bid three days ago, which the Border Security Force claimed to have foiled. Police believed that some militants did manage to sneak in and the location of Sunday's encounter site, close to the Jammu Pathankot highway, indicates that infiltrators were indeed able to negotiate the fence and other monitoring devices.

Inspector General of Police K. Rajendra confirmed to Hindustan Times that both the militants had been killed and that the operation was over.
