WITH OSAMA GONE, HEAT IS ON INDIA'S DREADED TERRORIST DAWOOD IBRAHIM
By P. Vijian
NEW DELHI, May 11 (Bernama) -- India has begun pressuring Pakistan to disclose the whereabouts of the sub-continent's most dreaded terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, suspected to have fled his Karachi hideout, after Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was eliminated by the United States.
Dawood, currently second on Interpol's 'Most Wanted' list after Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo Guzman, following Osama's death, is believed to have fled to Saudi Arabia.
Bernama has learnt that the Indian underworld don, who heads the notroious 'D-Company' (Dawood Company) is believed to have underworld links in Malaysia, Singapore and Bangkok.
"Jeddah has always been Dawood's second home for many reasons. We have prepared a detailed updated dossier on him after Osama's encounter.
"(Dawood) Ibrahim knows that due to international pressure, Pakistan would never want him to stay put in their territory," reported the Asian Age newspaper, quoting unnamed Indian Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials.
The dossier was given to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), said the news report.
Dawood, along with his close family members and aides, was believed to have abandoned his Karachi home to take shelter in Saudi Arabia on the night of May 2 -- the day elite US forces executed their raid on the Al-Qaeda chief in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
For decades, Indian authorities had been chasing the 55-year-old Dawood, son of a former policeman, who led the 'D-Company' which spearheaded organised crimes from drug trafficking, counterfeiting, contract killing to arms smuggling.
The underworld don is allegedly the mastermind behind the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts which killed 257 people.
He is also suspected to have had a hand in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, where 170 victims died.
Intelligence reports have revealed that Dawood had close links with the Al-Qaeda movement and Osama himself.
