5th argument - Secondly, he says, after the Maharashtra government framed the MCOCA, the central government created another law to curb terrorism. "That law will make this state law irrelevant and also overrule it," he says." Completely untrue. State is empowered to enact law and legislation complementary to centre laws.Example is RTI Act, Consumer Protection, etc.etc.
4th argument - "Majid Mohammad Shafi was arrested because he has relatives who help people cross the border between India and Bangladesh. "It does not mean they know what the people do after they cross the border," Azmi claims." There are strong reasons to suspect such unusual behaviour to cross the border illegally. Experience has shown that terrorists are trespassing India-Bangladesh border to nurture their criminal interests here in India.
His defence is - ***"He was arrested on July 23, 2006. The police did not claim any arrest in the July 11 case till September 30. So it took the police more than two months to decide that he was involved in the blasts," Azmi said.*** This also does not allow the defence to nullify the possibility of involvement of the accused in bombblast directly or indirectly.

I was one of those." He spoke out about how after the 2003 invasion, he was returned to Iraq to "carry out specific tasks assigned him by the US agencies." Among those tasks, he was put "in charge of a group of a unit that carried out assassinations in the streets of Baghdad."
He was quoted as saying, "Our task was to carry out assassinations of individuals. The US occupation army would supply us with their names, pictures, and maps of their daily movements to and from their place of residence and we were supposed to kill the Shi'i, for example, in the al-A'zamiyah, and kill the Sunni in the of 'Madinat as-Sadr’, and so on." Further, "Anyone in the unit who made a mistake was killed. Three members of my team were killed by US occupation forces after they failed to assassinate Sunni political figures in Baghdad." He revealed that this "dirty jobs" unit of Iraqis, Americans and other foreigners, "doesn’t only carry out assassinations, but some of them specialize in planting bombs a
