Today, amid reports of infighting in the gang of underworld don and global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim in the United Arab Emirates, authorities there are understood to have detained Chhota Shakeel's brother and some other gang members. In Delhi, efforts were made to explore the possible deportation or extradition in any cases related to bomb blasts, extortion or other organised crimes. The infighting, involving Dawood's trusted lieutenant Chhota Shakeel and his brother Anees (allegedly holed up in Pakistan), is believed to have turned dirty as both were fighting for the number two slot in the gang. Shakeel's brother, his brother-in-law Arif Bhaijan and Qayoom are also understood to have been detained.

The US Govt. said in 2003, probably correctly: "Dawood Ibrahim, an Indian crime lord, has found common cause with Al Qaida".

IMO: Well we all knew the latter, how about some action. As Dubya is essentially passe, at least they can 'do a Carter'.
