Kashmiri militants find a haven in LSE
RASHMEE Z AHMED
TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 2002 11:05:04 PM ]
LONDON: The London School of Economics (LSE) has nurtured at least
three men linked to al-Qaeda with a clear anti-Indian agenda,
according to intelligence information reportedly being studied by the
British police.
Two of the men are linked to Kashmiri militancy and are at large,
while the third was arrested in Delhi last month for alleged
involvement in the December 13 attack on the Indian Parliament.
The LSE connection, which has been dubbed the London School of
Extremists link, was forged in the early �90s. It is thought the link
could yield yet more crucial and sensitive information about UK-based
Islamist radicals who offered deadly help to the Kashmir cause by
taking to a life of militancy.
The most prominent of the so-called LSE three is the middle- class,
intellectual militant from London, Ahmed Omar Sheikh, who was
released by the Indian government in the Indian Airlines Kandahar
hostage swap in 1999. He is now said to be linked to last week�s
shooting outside Kolkata�s United States Information Service centre
and is alleged to have been part of the financial trail leading to
the chief World Trade Centre hijacker Mohammed Atta.
According to The Sunday Telegraph newspaper, Sheikh�s unnamed Kashmir-
sympathising fellow LSE student played an equally important role in
fuelling militancy in Kashmir by functioning as a key recruiting
agent for the militant groups in 1992.
The paper inaccurately names Jaish-e Mohammed as the main grouping
supported by the LSE�s radical Islamists, but according to sources,
Jaish was not in existence at the time. The LSE campus is more likely
to have supplied Harkat-ul Ansar or even Al Faran, the deadly
decapitators of some foreign tourists in the mid-90s.
The revelations about the LSE come as two South Asian British men are
confirmed as al-Qaeda�s -hardest of the hard- fighters incarcerated
at Camp X-Ray, the American detention centre at Guantanamo Bay in
Cuba. The two men, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul, belonged to an
impoverished English town in the West Midlands area, where the mainly-
Pakistani minority community lives in mutual fear and loathing
alongside the white host community. According to media reports, the
two Camp X- Ray detainees were part of an extremist Muslim sect,
which preached that it was acceptable to kill non-Muslims.
