The man arrested in Kenya last week was not the man the Indian authorities thought it was. The man turned out to be a West African and he was turned over to the Americans (wouldn't you love to know what this is all about?)
NEW DELHI: In a dramatic twist to the reports that one of India's most wanted men, Syed Abdul Karim alias Tunda, had been nabbed in Mombasa, the Kenyan police said on Sunday that the arrested man was a West African national amid media reports that he had been handed over to the FBI.
Tunda, founder of the Laskher-e-Taiba in India and wanted for several blasts in Mumbai, Delhi and other places in the country during 1993-98, was said to have been arrested in Mombasa on Thursday night – news that had been received with great satisfaction by security agencies here.
However, Kenyan police spokesman M Kibunja said that the arrested person was not an Indian but a West African national. "He has nothing to do with the Mumbai blasts," Kibunja said.
This has taken a decidedly odd turn, hasn't it?
