The idiot bureaucrat negotiators of the Indian government probably think that the problem will somehow solve itself on New Year's day. Something like the hijackers releasing all the hostages and then blowing up the plane is what they seem to be expecting, and waiting for. But if that doesn't happen, the clueless bureaucrat morons will have no crutch to lean on any more.

Now, the idiot bureaucrats are talking about getting the "help" of Taliban forces to "storm" the plane and free the hostages. Looks like they will do better if they just shut their mouths and hope that this thing will solve by itself as the calendar moves to Jan 1, 2000.

deccanchronicleonline.com India has been left alone by the international community to handle the hijacking of its Kathmandu-Delhi Indian Airlines flight with world leaders on Christmas holiday. The India-US alliance against terrorism elicited a short State department condemnation four days after the hijacking with US President Bill Clinton still silent about the incident that has increased tension in the region. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has still to react to the hijacking in clear terms. ... Those who jumped up and down here about the "new era" of Indo-US friendship, yadda yadda yadda, have plenty of egg on their faces now! <g>

The following passage about a report filed by the IDIOT Indian bureaucrats at their airport in Amritsar speaks a lot about their sharp and brilliant minds! <g> The report also says that at that time it appeared highly improbable that the plane with its fuel almost running out would again fly off suddenly to land at Lahore. ``It has to be borne in mind that the aircraft never switched off its engines during the entire process and was seen to be rolling and turning and flew off immediately on sighting the refuelling tanker coming towards it,' says the report.

Idiot Indian bureaucrats say, "Storming of plane not ruled out". To paraphrase a line from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" -- "If you want to storm... then storm! Don't talk!"

New Delhi: India has apparently dispatched a team of crack commandoes aboard the relief plane that flew into Kandahar on Monday. The plane was carrying a team of seven officials to negotiate with the hijackers of the Indian Airlines Flight IC-814. Other persons on board the plane were seven engineers and technicians, two doctors and a nurse. There were also 13 crew members to fly the hijacked plane back in the event of the hijackers lifting their siege. While these total 30, there has been no explanation for the presence of the 22 unidentified members on the plane. Top government sources indicated that the unnamed 22 comprised crack commandos specially trained for rescue operations. The team itself was sent to Afghanistan after Taliban chief Mullah Mohammed Omar gave an undertaking to the Indian government that no hostage would come to any harm. The government began concretising its responses to the hijack only after it received the assurance, some time early on Monday.Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee?s assurance to relatives of the crew who met him on Monday evening that no harm would come to anyone on the plane is said to have arisen out of Omar?s assurance: Vajpayee even said that they (the relatives) could hold him responsible and even ?hang? him if harm befell any of the passengers or crew. In a measure seen as kicking off the end-game of the crisis, the Taliban council ? the Shura ? will meet to discuss the matter.
