After Pakistan being caught ignorant about the presence of the world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden, its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has whisked away India's most wanted gangster-turned-terrorist -- Dawood Ibrahim -- from the country.

Headlines Today accessed a secret intelligence dossier which says that the ISI has shifted the notorious underworld kingpin to Azerbaijan or Tajakistan. He has been moved out to keep him from the post-Laden killing troubles.

Ibrahim's drug network has spread its tentacles in these two countries giving him a solid base in the region. Indian intelligence agencies have interpreted it as a deliberate attempt to deflect pressure on Pakistan about the Indian underworld don's presence.

Ibrahim has already returned to the Indo-Pak discourse in a big way after the Geronimo mission. His name figures in the list of over 40 criminals that India wants Pakistan to hand over.
