A Special Operations Group (SOG) team in Vadodra in the night of July 26 arrested a Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) cadre for his involvement in three-year-old incident when a group of protestors had displayed posters of al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden in Mandvi area, reports Times of India. Abid Ali Moosa Saiyyad was arrested by SOG Police inspector H. M. Alsika on the basis of a tip-off. According to SOG officials, Abid had conspired with the protestors, who displayed Osama's posters during a ruckus with Police in May 2007. Abid is in the business of making photo frames. The posters flashed by SIMI activists during protests in 2007 were prepared by Abid and he was involved in the conspiracy. I got information of Abid's involvement through a source, Alsika told Times of India. Abid is a member of SIMI's sleeper cell. We demanded a remand of Abid to interrogate him, but it was rejected by the court. Till now, we have arrested 30 people in the case, including Abid, he added. The protestors had displayed Osama's posters in May 2007 to protest against the derogatory sketches that were found strewn in M.S. University campus. According to protestors, the sketches had hurt their religious sentiments, prompting their protest. The city police, too, were surprised as it had been for the first time that Osama's posters were displayed in open.
