A probe has been ordered into how al-Qaeda
terrorist Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi who was killed in a US air strike in Iraq last
week was allegedly certified as a resident of the state capital.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary N C Bajpai ordered
an inquiry into how the al-Qaeda Iraq unit chief was reportedly issued a domicile
certificate by the Lucknow district administration.
He took serious note of reports that the terrorist
was registered in the name of "Ama Zarqawi" and made eligible for
unemployment doles.
The reports alleged that the certificate,
which is issued after due verification, was given without following the set
process. Bajpai directed the principal secretary concerned and district administration
to initiate necessary "disciplinary action" against those found
responsible for the lapse.
