# 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.

India: Riots in Hyderabad

India: Riots in Hyderabad

Indian riot police in Hyderabad on March 29
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 person dead and 80 injured. The clashes in
Hyderabad, India's high-tech hub in Andhra Pradesh state, were sparked
late March 27 when 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.
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, Shamsheergunj and
Lal Darwaja districts. Some 1,800 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 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 8 million people, 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
equivocates over an earlier pledge to grant statehood to Telangana, a
region of Andhra Pradesh state that would encompass Hyderabad. In an
attempt to force the government's hand on the issue, Telangana activists
have caused major disruptions in the city and surrounding areas through
strikes, blockades and sporadic attacks on businesses. Some Telangana
political activists are now accusing 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 assertions that the division of the state would lead
to an escalation of Hindu-Muslim tensions.
The uptick in communal tensions in Hyderabad provides an opportunity for
Telangana activists to pressure the central government at a time when
New Delhi is already concerned about frightening off foreign investors.
Additionally, India remains under threat by Islamic militant groups 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. At present, the situation appears to have calmed, but it only
takes a small spark to reignite the communal flame in a city like
Hyderabad.
