Terrorists Brake the Railway Track in Kashmir Last Night. Again Terrorists activity started in Kashmir.

An Improvised explosive device (IED) blast damaged 2-3 feet of the track in Pulwama on the Qazigund Baramulla route, about 40 kms from Srinagar.

There are no casualties, although train services between south and north Kashmir have been affected. Work has been on since last night to repair the tracks.

The attack comes at a time when senior railway officers are expected to visit Kashmir to review progress of the ongoing work in the railways.

"It has to be a regular high explosive. Without forensic analysis and trace analysis, no one can claim the nature of the explosive. If anyone is claiming the nature before the reports, is wrong. But it is not emulsion or slurry. The way magnesium steel has been cut it has to be a regular high explosive detonation," said M C Asthana, Inspector General, CRPF.

One train runs every day on the Qazigund Baramulla track which brought in the valley's first train last year.

The rail link project which will connect Kashmir to the rest of the country took more than a decade to construct.

The 18-kilometre line is the valley's link to its capital Srinagar and other important places. But ever since the line has been laid, there have been several militant attacks in the area although this is the first time the track has been attacked.

Osama Bin Laden Threatened to Kill Any Americans Held By Al-Qaida | Bin Laden Denounced The United States for Imprisoning Qaida Members

In a 74-second audio message released on Thursday, Osama bin Laden threatened to kill any Americans held by Al-Qaida if Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the chief planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, is executed.

US counterterrorism officials said they thought the recording, addressed to the American people and broadcast on Al-Jazeera television, was authentic.

Bin Laden denounced the United States for imprisoning Qaida members, "first and foremost among them the holy warrior and hero, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed," according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute in Washington.

"The White House declared that it wanted to execute them," bin Laden said. "The day the United States makes this decision, it will have made the decision to execute those of you who fall prisoner to us."

The message was undated, but it appeared to be referring to statements in recent months by Obama administration officials that Mohammed, who is awaiting trial on murder charges, is likely to be convicted and executed. The officials were defending the administration's initial plan, now under review, to give five accused Sept 11 conspirators civilian criminal trials.

Asked in an interview with NBC News in November about Americans who were offended that Mohammed would get the same rights as any other criminal defendant, President Barack Obama said such critics would not find it "offensive at all when he's convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him." He added that he was not trying to prejudge the outcome of any trial.

Attorney General Eric Holder and the White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, have made similar statements.

Since January, when New York City officials objected to the disruption and cost of a trial for Mohammed in federal court in Manhattan, the administration has been considering its options. Opponents of a criminal trial have called for the accused plotters to face military commissions at the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they are now being held.

In the new recording, bin Laden repeated a recurrent theme of Qaida messages since Obama's election: that he has not reversed the policies toward the Muslim world of former President George W. Bush. "Your master in the White House continues to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor in many important matters, like his escalation of the war in Afghanistan," bin Laden said.

No Americans are currently known to be held directly by Al-Qaida, officials said, though Taliban fighters are believed to be holding Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl, who was kidnapped after walking off his Army base in southern Afghanistan last summer.

A U.S. counterterrorism official who discussed the bin Laden statement on condition of anonymity called it the "height of absurdity" for Al-Qaida to threaten now to harm captives, given that the group's operatives have routinely tortured and beheaded prisoners, including the American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002.

Afghan man pleads guilty to New York subway bomb plot

A former Denver airport shuttle driver admitted Monday to a plot to bomb the New York City subways, saying he was recruited by Al-Qaida in Pakistan for a "martyrdom plan" against the United States.

"I would sacrifice myself to bring attention to what the US military was doing to civilians in Afghanistan," Najibullah Zazi, 25, told a federal judge in a Brooklyn courtroom.

The Afghan native pleaded guilty to conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country and providing material support for a terrorist organization. He faces a life prison sentence without parole at a sentencing in June.

Zazi said he went to Pakistan in 2008 to join the Taliban and fight against the US military but was recruited by the terrorist network and went into a training camp.

He admitted building homemade explosives with beauty supplies purchased in the Denver suburbs and cooked up in a Colorado hotel room, then driving them cross-country to New York City just before the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Zazi told authorities he disposed of the explosives once arriving in New York.

He said the terrorism plot was aimed at the city subway system but wouldn't name a specific target when asked by US District Judge Raymond Dearie.

Zazi was arrested in the fall after arousing authorities' suspicions by driving cross-country from Denver to New York around the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that the jailed Zazi jailed Zazi recently volunteered information about the bomb plot during a meeting with his attorney and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn. The sit-down, known as a proffer session, typically signals that a defendant has begun cooperating in a bid for a plea deal.

One of the people familiar with the Zazi case told the AP that Zazi decided to offer the information after being warned that his mother could face criminal immigration charges. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is in progress.

Zazi's attorney, William Stampur, would only say after the hearing Monday: "The plea speaks for itself."

Naxals Offer 72-Day Ceasefire, Then Attack Security Camp

After weeks of violence and some of the worst Naxal attacks that India has seen, the Maoists have offered a 72-day conditional ceasefire to the government, starting February 25.

But hours after they made the offer, the Naxals struck yet again, attacking a security camp at Katapahari near Lalgarh in West Bengal.

The Naxals attacked the camp at around 9.30 pm on Monday, triggering a gunbattle that lasted for about two hours. Three Maoists are believed to have been killed in the exchange of fire. While the attackers took away two bodies, one body was recovered by the security forces.

The Maoist whose body is believed to have been recovered is Lal Mohan Todu, a person closely associated with Maoist leader Chhtradhar Mahato and a member of the Peoples Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA).

Earlier in the evening, Naxal leader Kishenji contacted NDTV's Sampad Mahapatra and announced the 72-day ceasefire, though with some conditions. He said he wanted the government to stop all operations against the Naxals.

Labelled Operation Greenhunt, the government is in the process of a gigantic counter-offensive against the Naxals in states like Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal.

Kishenji also said that he wanted intellectuals and human rights activists to mediate talks between the Maoists and the government.

Sources in the Home Ministry told NDTV that the government could consider the offer if there were no preconditions. They also suggested that the Maoists were under pressure and this offer was a ploy for them to buy time to regroup.

On Saturday, Home Minister P Chidambaram had repeated his offer of talks to the Naxals; he said if they would abjure violence for 72 hours, he was willing to negotiate with them.

Kishenji's offer of a ceasefire for 72 days instead of 72 hours seems to be a case of political upmanship, experts said.

Only last week, Naxals attacked a police camp in Bengal's West Midnapore and killed 24 jawans. Seven of those jawans were burnt alive in their tents. The attack has revealed that there were serious intelligence lapses on the part of the state government.

A few days later, 10 villagers were killed in Phulwari in Bihar's Jamui district in what was described as a revenge attack by the Naxals. They wanted to retaliate against informers in the village who helped the police to capture some Naxals operating in the area.

Top Taliban commander captured, U.S. official says

Washington (CNN) -- The Taliban's top military leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, has been captured, a senior administration official told CNN late Monday.

This is a "huge deal," CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen said. "This guy ... is the number two political figure in the Taliban" to the group's founder, Mullah Muhammad Omar.

Baradar, an Afghan, was also a close associate of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden ahead of the September 11 attacks on the United States.

Baradar was captured several days ago in a secret joint operation by Pakistani and American intelligence forces in Karachi, Pakistan, according to American government officials, The New York Times reported.

The Times also reported that Baradar has been in Pakistani custody for several days, the officials said. American and Pakistani intelligence officials are taking part in interrogations, they told the newspaper.

"The critical issue is how much will he talk and provide information on ... where the Taliban in Pakistan are and ... where Osama bin Laden is," said Robin Wright, a fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace.

Bergen said Baradar also would have been in regular contact with Omar.

The arrest comes as some 15,000 Afghan and NATO forces are battling the Taliban in Marjah in southern Afghanistan's Helmand province in Operation Moshtarak.
