CHIDAMBARAM-JIHAD 2 LST

"In a conversation between one of the terrorists who had
attacked Mumbai in 2008 and his handler in Pakistan, the word
jihad was used," Chidambaram said adding the father of
Abdulmutallab, who had planned to blow up an American
plane, had reportedly said his son had come under the
influence of jihadist version of Islam that he did not
recognise.

In his address at the 22nd Intelligence Bureau Centenary
Endowment Lecture in December, Chidambaram had said that even
as the Cold War came to an end, another kind of war, 'jihad' ,
had emerged.
Jihad employed terror as an instrument to achieve its
objectives and directed against all and sundry, with its
victims being innocent people, he had said.
In a letter to Chidambaram recently, the TMMK president
had said jihad was striving against injustice and falsehood
and did not teach advocte that this should be done through
violence. PTI SA
