As per the order of additional chief metropoli- tan magistrate T S Kashyap Mohammad, Razzak had to be released. ‘‘Their conspira- cy was planned in late 2002. Razzak offered Rs 6 lakh to Fazlu, Farookh and Moham- mad Razzak for helping him to get released,’’ Chand said. Since Abdul Razzak is fac- ing a serious offence, it would have been difficult for him to get bail. The accused, therefore, convinced Moham- mad Razzak to get bail in a case of Arms Act but let Abdul Razzak leave the jail.

In remarks considered uncharacteristically warm for the cool, un- flappable Swedish diplo- mat, Blix accused the Bush administration of ‘‘leaning’’ on his wea- pons inspection team. He suggested, in an in- terview front-paged by The Guardian newspaper as an exclusive, that that Washington may have wanted Blix to use more damning language in its reports on Iraqi non-com- pliance with the weapons inspections regime. ‘‘I have my detractors in Washington. There are bastards who spread things around, of course, who planted nasty things in the media,’’ he said. “But he added, that he disregarded the smear campaign: ‘‘Not that I ca- red very much. It was like a mosquito bite in the evening that is there in the morning, an irri- tant.’’ Blix, who took on the sensitive task of searching Iraq anew for weapons of mass de- struction, said the per- sonal vilification extend- ed to Baghdad, where claims about his sexual orientation were luridly put about. The father of two, who is soon to return to the Stockholm flat he shares with his ex-ambassador wife Eva, said he was de- picted as a ‘‘homosexual who went to Washington every two weeks to pick up (his) instructions.’’ Asked point-blank by The Guardian if he felt he had been the target of a deliberate smear cam- paign by Washington, Blix answered: ‘‘Yes, I probably was, at a lower level.’’ The paper said Blix also accused Wash- ington of regarding the UN as an ‘‘alien power’’, which they hoped would tip into New York’s East river. But Blix also leav- ened his criticism with more soothing words.
