India admits error in ‘most-wanted’ list
NEW DELHI: India’s home minister admitted an embarrassing mistake on Wednesday in a list of “most-wanted” fugitives thought to be hiding in Pakistan after a terror suspect was found living in Mumbai.
The list included the name of Wazhul Qamar Khan, who was wanted for his alleged role in the bombing of trains in Mumbai in 2003. But, Khan has since been found in the outskirts of Mumbai. “We take responsibility. It was a mistake,” Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters in New Delhi, explaining that local Mumbai police had not informed federal authorities. “I am satisfied that this was a genuine oversight,” he said. afp
