VS Naipaul 'killed off' by FBI | Indian origin novelist VS Naipual has been "killed
off" by the FBI in court documents, which refer to him as "the late V.S Naipaul, a Nobel prize winning author." According to a FBI case filed against suspected
terrorists in a Chicago court, the very-much-alive Naipaul is mentioned in connection
with his wife Lady Naipaul, a journalist and the sister of a Pakistani general
who was allegedly killed by Islamic militants last year. The slip-up in the footnotes
of evidence submitted by Special Agent Lorenzo Benedict was spotted by the entertainment
and crime news website, The Smoking Gun, after the documents were unsealed on
Tuesday. Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Pakistani-born Canadian, and David Headley,
a US citizen who changed his name from Daood Gilani, are accused of conspiring
with Pakistani terrorist groups to take revenge on the Jyllands-Posten newspaper
for "making fun of Islam". It is alleged that the two men, who are both in their
late 40s and live in Chicago, planned a reconnaissance mission to Copenhagen during
which Headley filmed the newspaper's offices as well as the central train station
and a synagogue. Naipaul, 77, is considered to be one of the finest living novelists
writing in English. His works include A House for Mr Biswas, A Bend in the River
and The Enigma of Arrival, and he received the Nobel Literature Prize in 2001. |
