# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Cat 3 for comment - India - Hyderabad riots
Reply-To: Analyst List <analysts@stratfor.com>
A curfew in India*s southern city of Hyderabad has been extended to the
morning of March 31 following three days of riots between Hindus and
Muslims that have left one dead and 80 injured. The clashes in
Hyderabad, India*s high-tech hub in Andhra Pradesh state, were sparked
late March 27 when groups of Hindu activists attempted to replace green
Muslim banners with their own saffron flags. Hyderabad*s old city was
then overwhelmed with attacks by Hindu and Muslim mobs against religious
sites, vehicles, shops and houses. One person in Shalibanda area was
stabbed to death March 29 in the ensuing violence.
On the evening of March 29, the government imposed a curfew in the
city*s South Zone, where communal clashes were most intense in
Moghalpura, Shalibanda, Charminar, Aliabad, Falaknuma, Shamsheegunj and
Lal Darwaja districts. A paramilitary force of 1,800 officers from the
Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Rapid Action Force (RAF) and
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) were deployed by the central
government to enforce the curfew. Since the curfew was imposed, the
situation has calmed considerably. Sporadic stone-pelting incidents were
reported in the areas of Gulzar Houz and Shahali Banda and were quickly
suppressed by baton-wielding riot police. Some 130 people that were
believed to be involved in the riots have been arrested so far. The
curfew was extended to account for the Hindu celebrations for Hanuman
Jayanti March 30. Hindu processions for the holiday have been banned in
the old city, but have been taking place in other parts of Hyderabad.
Hyderabad a densely populated city of eight million, 40 percent of which
are Muslim, is no stranger to communal riots. This latest wave of riots
comes at a particularly tense time as the central government continues
to equivocate over an earlier pledge to grant statehood to Telangana
http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20091210_india_state_born, a region of
Andhra Pradesh that would encompass Hyderabad. In an attempt to force
the government*s hand on the issue, Telangana activists have since
caused major disruptions in the city and surrounding areas through
strikes, blockades and sporadic attacks on businesses. Some Telangana
political activists are now accusing the members of the ruling Congress
party of sparking this recent spate of communal riots in an attempt to
stave off a decision on Telangana, claiming that the riots were designed
to support Congress claims that the division of the state would lead to
an escalation of Hindu-Muslim tensions.
The uptick in communal tensions in Hyderabad provide an opportunity to
Telangana activists to ratchet up their protests and pressure the
central government at a time when New Delhi is already concerned about
frightening off foreign investors
http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/india_shining_india_beginning_tarnish.
Additionally, India remains under threat by Islamist militant groups
http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20100214_india_blast_pune that have a
presence in the area and feed on Hindu-Muslim riots to gain recruits and
constituent support. The more destabilized Hyderabad becomes, the more
of an opportunity such groups have to carry out attacks. The situation
is deescalating for the time-being, but it only takes a small spark to
reignite the communal flame in a city like Hyderabad.
