Pakistani
sentenced to death for Red Fort attack
  NEW
DELHI, Oct 31 - An Indian court on Monday sentenced a
Pakistani to death over a militant attack at New Delhi’s
famous 17th Century Red Fort five years ago.
Prosecutors had said Ashfaq Rehman, convicted of “waging
war” on India, was a member of the banned Pakistani-based
militant group that some analysts suspect of involvement in
weekend bombings in New Delhi that killed at least 59
people.
On Monday, the court also sentenced six Indians to between
life and seven years in jail over the attack on an army
garrison at the Red Fort in which three soldiers died. As
the sentence was read out, Rehman shouted in protest.
Outside, a crowd chanted: “Hang the terrorists.”

How autobiography of
former Rajiv aide was shelved!
 TRIVANDRUM,
Oct 31 — The controversial autobiography of
Kerala’s foremost technocrat and former
technical adviser to late Prime Minister Rajiv
Gandhi, K.P.P. Nambiar, has been shoved under
the carpet before it hit the bookstalls.
Sources close to Nambiar, who founded the Kerala
Electronics Development Corporation (Keltron),
said his wife had decided to withhold the book
to save her husband from being hauled up before
the court after selling only four copies.
Nambiar, who suffered a stroke, is confined to
bed now.
She felt that he had complicated his case by
reiterating the charge that opposition leader
V.S. Achutanandan’s son Arun Kumar had sought a
cutback for clearing a power project promoted by
him at Kannur. The reiteration came despite a
defamation case, filed by Arun Kumar, pending in
the court.
Nambiar’s wife felt Arun might use this to drag
him into court again. She obviously wanted to
avert this considering his ill health.
Therefore, she decided to keep the autobiography
entitled Sabhalam Kalapabhritam under wraps.
But how this decision can be implemented is to
be seen since the Mathrubhumi publishing house
holds the rights to publication.
In the book, excerpted by a local daily, Nambiar
also came out heavily against former chief
minister K. Karunakaran, other politicians and
bureaucrats. He accused Karunkaran of destroying
the Keltron out of personal animosity towards
him.
Karunakaran was angry with him for turning down
his request to install a crony as the head of
the Keltron unit proposed at Mala, his
constituency. Nambiar also put former Industries
Ministers P.C.Chacko and E. Ahmed, MP, and
former Chief Secretary S.Padma Kumar in the dock
on Keltron.
He alleged that senior bureaucrats had stifled
Keltron, the pioneer of Indian electronics
industry that had all potential to change the
State's economic and employment profile, new in
the red, out of jealousy towards him.

15 dead in India train crash
HYDERABAD,
Oct 29: A passenger train derailed early on
Saturday in southern India, crashing into a
rain-swollen river that had washed away the
tracks, officials said. At least 15 people were
believed to be dead. The accident happened near
the town of Veligonda in southern Andhra Pradesh
state, railway officials said, speaking on
condition of anonymity because they were not
authorized to speak to the media.
