New York: An Indian has been arrested for carrying jehadi literature at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, a media report said.

Vijay Kumar, 40, was arrested Friday after security officials searched his luggage when they noticed him behaving strangely, the New York Post reported Monday. Kumar said he is from Mumbai.

Officers found books and diagrams on espionage, information on US military weaponry, publications mentioning "jehad" and "infidels," brass knuckles and at least $8,000 in US bills.

A swab initially detected residue from a homemade explosive on Kumar's bag but two subsequent tests came back negative, KPRC reported.

Kumar told investigators he was in Houston for an "Islamic seminar". He was being held on a $50,000 bond.

a true muslim will never give up his name for a hindu name. this fellow must be a pakistani mole hell bent on tarnishing the image of the indian muslim. with this episode now the world over any one crossing borders with hindu or christian name and holding an indian passport will be subject to vigorous investigation. muslims of course will face added scrutiny.

a terrorist don`t have to be a muslim .in past a british hindu got caught in usa supporting muslim terrorist. every terrorist regardless of faith must be investigated in depth and dealt accordingly, if we want control terrorism today.

looks like the guy has a ``forged passport`` as the name vijay kumar sounds hindu . and a hindu is an ``infidel`` who usually confronts ``jehad`` and unlikely to attend an ``islamic seminor`` !

how can this fellow kumer ( hindu) by name attain muslim seminer? i believe this fellow has changed his name and attained the seminar. who gave him visa ? all must be checked properly. extremisom is a cancer in the society.we all need to understand this and support authorities.
