Threat to Repeat 9/11 in Guwahati: Politics of Terror

Threat to Repeat 9/11 in Guwahati: Politics of 

Terror

The president of Assam State unit of Bharatiya Janata Party Mr. Romen Deka revealed ahorrifying news in a press meet at Jorhat, Assam on 20 December, 2007. He told media

 persons that International Terrorist Outfit Al Qaeda threatened to kill him and destroy the

state headquarter of BJP in Guwahati like the twin towers of World Trade Centre inAmerica. According to him, the threat was conveyed through a letter received in the State

headquarter. The authors of the letter, as stated by Deka, also threatened to kill

Mr.Somujjal Kumar Bhattacharya, the adviser of All Assam Students Union. Deka addedthat they got this threat due to the strong stand taken by their party against doubtful

Bangladeshi citizen residing here. Even the writers of the letter did not feel it necessary to

hide their identity. The letter was signed by Baharul Islam of Borni, Hajo; Kurban Ali,Irshadur Rahaman, Muhib Ali of Mohtoli, Kalatoti; Khalilur Rahman and Kachnur Ali of 

Shoniadi, Bihodia; Mirajul Hoque of Mandia, Barbata; and Tafazul Alom of Dhubri. All

of the 8 signatories claimed that they are active associate workers of ISI and Al-Qaeda, as

stated by Deka.

Recently a video lecture, allegedly of Osama bin Laden himself was aired by television

channels where Laden declared his intention to establish an Islamic State in North EastIndia. In view of this video, it seems to me, at the first sight, it is very intriguing that

security agencies of the government have not taken the threat seriously and consequently,

there is no alert or hype in security arrangements, at which Deka expressed his

displeasure and rightly so.

Every human being, by the very virtue of his being a member of human family, is entitled

to pursue his political aspiration lawfully and under the framework of democracyirrespective of his ideology, other affiliations and identity. No persons or group of persons

are permitted to make any type of unlawful obstruction or threat of it, to his persuasion,

leave alone the question of threat do destroy the headquarter of a popular political partyand to kill its president. They must be dealt with stringently under the law of the land.

The deadly silence of the government over such a serious matter is condemnable in the

strongest words.

Al-Qaeda must not be viewed indifferently and taken lightly. It is the most dreadedterrorist organisation in the world today. Its god-father Osama Bin Laden had beaten badly a supper power of the stature of erstwhile United Socialist Soviet Republic, albeit

with the back of United States of America in Afghanistan. The fact that he is a creation of 

the other super power of the cold War-I period which emerged as the victor makes Laden

more deadly. He was created and used by America as a lethal weapon which can be used both ways. America used him horizontally against the USSR. America succeeded in two

great battles of its war for global spectrum in Afghanistan and Iraq by destroying and

occupying both of the countries by using the Laden trump card vertically. He is the most

 powerful weapon in the arsenal of the present day emperor.

That is why his image is larger than life. He lives a metaphysical existence. He has

attained a mythical dimension. At least it has now got proven that the story of his

involvement in 9/11 is a mythical one. After seven years of 9/11 the Americaninvestigative agency FBI could not find hard evidence to connect Bin Laden to 9/11. The

web page of FBI titled “Most Wanted Terrorists” does not state that “Bin Laden is wanted

for September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon”. The pagerather states, “Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7th, 1998

 bombing of United States Embassies in Dar-es Salam, Tanznia, and Nairobi, Kenia”. In

an article published in the Milli Gazette Enver Masud writes, “When asked why there is

not mention of 9/11 on the FBI’s webpage, Rox Tomb, the FBI’s Chief of InvestigativePublicity, is reported to have said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin

Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin

Laden to 9/11”.

The story of Laden’s connection in 9/11 was manufactured and circulated to use it just as

 pretexts to invade and destroy Afghanistan as the story of weapons of mass destructionwas used to carry out massive destruction of human masses in Iraq. At the time of 

invasion of Iraq Bush also harped for a while on the possibility of a connection between

Saddam and Laden. Like Laden Saddam was also a long time friend in need of U.S.A.

Saddam’s tyranny was supported logistically, diplomatically and morally by the States for a long time, especially in his war against Iran. The course did not run smoothly for ever 

due mainly to the fact that Saddam was established in helm of real power of a state unlike

Laden whose very existence is not always tangible. Power is such a powerful phenomenon that in this case it created a deep rift between Bush and Saddam that drove

the latter to gallows.

But Laden has kept serving his master in the White House without intervals. Robert Parry

reported on July 4th, 2006, that CIA believed that “Osama helped Bush in ‘04 election.”

Everybody knows that in 2004 presidential election in the US as per exit poll survey after the first phase Bush seemed to be getting out and exactly in this point of severe need

Laden came to his rescue. A tape was aired containing a fiery speech, allegedly of Laden,

threatening to repeat 9/11 in America. The politics of terror worked and Bush emerged

with flying colours, albeit a little pale.

Such videos and images keep coming and fooling us. Some researchers take interests in

analyzing them. Kim Zetter informed us on August, 2nd 2007 in wired.com regarding avideo of Ayman Al Zawahiri, the person known as the right hand of Laden. Zetter writes,

“Krawetz took an image from a 2006 Al Qaeda video of Ayman Al Zawahiri, a senior 

member of the terrorist organization. The image shows Al Zawahiri sitting in front of adesk and banner with writing on it. But after conducting his error analysis Krawetz was

able to determine that Al Zawahiri’s image was superimposed in front of the

 background”. The latest Bin Laden video in which he threatened to transform North East

India into an Islamic State was a forgery. The details of how it was made can be found in

I am not sure whether the letter received and shown by BJP threatening to kill Romen

Deka, Dr. Somujjal Kumer Bhattacharya and to destroy the BJP headquarter was a

forgery or not. But there is strong possibility of its being a forged letter. The truth about itcan be ascertained by expert examination of the letter and severe interrogation of the

 persons who signed the letter. The detractors always talk of BJP as a fundamentalist and

fascist party. And Al Qaeda is known also as a fundamentalist, fascist and terroristorganization. It is highly likely that the latter may come to rescue the former in the next

Panchayat election which is hung like the sword of Damocles. With the help of the letter 

BJP can create an environment of terror and polarize the voters.

The matter is serious. People should create pressure on the government to unearth the

truth behind the letter; otherwise the politics of terror wall create havoc in communal

harmony, secularism and peace.
