News X : Indian Mujahideen serial bomber Afzal Usmani flees from Mumbai sessions court

In an embarrassing security lapse, an Indian Mujahideen operative accused of involvement in half a dozen bombings across the country escaped from the Mumbai sessions court .
Afzal Usmani (37), along with 22 co-accused, was taken from Navi Mumbai's Taloja jail to the court in south Mumbai for framing of charges in a case linked to the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts, which killed 56. He is accused of stealing vehicles for the terror strike and sending terror emails before and after it.
While the accused were waiting on the court premises for the hearing to begin, Usmani slipped away and absconded. His escape was realized only later.
The police have suspended two officers who were escorting the accused, instituted a departmental inquiry and launched a massive manhunt. They said nakabandis have been erected around the city, and bus and railway stations being scoured.
