Hilarious the way this article is written, "his colleagues smell[ed] a rat..." So much for journalistic integrity...BANGALORE: The `booting' of George W Bush in Baghdad might have thrown up an entirely new terror angle in Bangalore.

A MICO employee, Jameel, who was discussing the incident at his office - and supporting the Iraqi journalist who hurled two shoes at the US President - has landed in custody. The police are questioning Jameel about his suspected terror links.

Jameel's strong support of the hurling of shoes by Muntadar al-Zeid made his colleagues smell a rat. They informed the Adugodi police, who promptly took the 40-year-old into custody for questioning.

The police found paper cuttings of various terror attacks and a letter Jameel had written to the President requesting clemency for Afzal Guru, who has been awarded the death penalty in the Parliament attack case.

When TOI contacted police commissioner Shankar Bidari, he confirmed Jameel is being questioned for his alleged terror links.
