"Three get life term in Kandahar Hijack case'- EXPRESSINDIA
“All delays are dangerous in war”----John Dryden quotes (British Poet, Dramatist and Critic of Literacy, 1631-1700)
Three persons involved in the hijack of the Indian Airlines aircraft to Kandahar in Afghanistan in December 1999 were convicted and sentenced to life on Tuesday by a city court on charges including murder and conspiracy. 
What about the main culprits? Even this judgement took nine years.
During a week of suspense, five hijackers - Ibrahim Athar (brother of Jash-e-Mohammed Chief Masood Azhar), Sunny Ahmed Qazi, S A Sayed alias Doctor, Z I Mistri alias Bhola and R G Verma alias Shakir - who commandeered aircraft to Kandahar negotiated with Indian officials with threats to blow up the aircraft and successfully got Azhar and two other dreaded terrorist released from jails in India for release of passengers.
India could have done something even in Taliban ruled Afghanistan then. A commando raid, perhaps? It might have meant loss of lives, but the terrorists would have got the message loud and clear.
Instead the impression is that India is a soft state.
