More on the arrested Indian nationals
December 29, 2008
LAHORE december 25. Law-enforcement agencies claimed on Thursday to have arrested three Indian nationals, two of them brothers, in the city on information provided by detained Indian spy Satish Anand Shukla, who was arrested from a place near the Bahawalpur House after a blast in the area on Wednesday.
Police sources told Dawn that three Indian nationals, identified as Ram Kumar, Ram Chandar and Prakash, had been arrested from the Shafeeqabad area early in the morning. Some arms, a camera and maps were found in their possession.
The sources said that Shukla and the other three Indians were involved in Wednesday’s bomb blast, adding that information received from them during interrogation might lead to more people and their connection with the neighbouring country.
The chain of Indian spies could be long and linked to local people, they said. A highly-placed source said that concentration of Hindus in the Walled City had come to light after a visit of Satish to Androon Lohari Gate.
Meanwhile, a police official told Dawn that a driver of the Punjab Fisheries Department, who had been questioned in connection with the Lahore bomb blast, was still in custody, but he had not provided any useful information.
He said police were now waiting for the outcome of interrogation of the detained Indians for information about the blast and their future subversion plans.
He said investigators had found a cell-phone at a place not far from the blast site. The phone which can be operated by remote control has been handed over to the Special Investigation Group (SIG) of the Federal Investigation Agency for forensic analysis.
“The presence of a remote-control cell-phone suggests that the people who had parked the explosives-laden vehicle had used the phone to detonate the explosives,” he said.
He said investigators had also found a used phone card in the wreckage of the vehicle which would be of help in tracing the network of saboteurs.

Indian Terrorists arrested in Lahore Pakistan with bomb materials

Indian terrorists have been caught red handed, arrested and jailed after a bomb blast on Wednesday. The Zardari government has been low key in advertising the arrests of scores of other Indian terrorists who participate in terror in Swat and FATA. However the local police in Lahore announced the arrests before the news could be quashed by the PPPP. Indian RAW blows up Pindi building in Pakistan
It is pedagogical to note that even before anyone was arrested in Mumbai the Indian media had already tried and convicted Pakistan for the militancy in Mumbai. In sharp contrast Dawn published the report of the Indian terrorists with a caption “Indian nationals arrested”. These individuals were arrested with maps and bomb blowing equipment. Certainly they were not taking them to a Christmas party or saving the bombs for Halloween. It is amazing that Dawn has fallen so low its reporting that it refuses to call a spade a spade.
On another occasion Dawn supposedly sent an “investigative unit” to Fradkot to find out the origns of the Mumbai militants. While Pakistan and Islamabad and the rest of the international media is still trying to get to the bottom of this, Dawn published a false story on the origins of the Mumbai militants and Faridkot. Dawn has since retracted the false stroy but the damage has been done.
Dawn used to be the best newspaper of Pakistan. Its journalistic standards have fallen under its current editorial board. Many analysts wonder which side Dawn is on. After the way Mr. Haroon behaved in the UN, maybe many wonder that perhaps Dawn knows which side it is on. It certainly does air the views of Anti-Pakistanis like Irfan Husein etc. It is important to note that the military government refused to give Dawn TV a license because of its Anti-Pakistani stance on many occasions. Dawn TV routinely and overwhlemingly airs the views of those who do not espouse a patriotic point of view.

Pakistan Arrests 7 Indian Terrorist

Pakistan said yesterday it has arrested seven Indians in connection with a bomb blast in Lahore on Wednesday. The bomb-rigged truck exploded in a heavily guarded neighborhood of the city, killing a woman and injuring four people.
Security sources said police arrested Satish Anand Shukla of Calcutta hours after the blast. A senior Lahore police officer said six Indians were arrested on information supplied by Shukla. He did not give further details, but other security sources said the arrests were carried out in Anarkali, Chungh and Bahawalpur. Cameras, maps locating vital installations in Lahore, pistols, explosives material and detonators were seized from the Indians, the sources said. The detainees are being interrogated at an undisclosed location to find out the “nerve center of their operation,” one source said.
The Lahore blast and arrests came almost a month after the Mumbai terrorist attacks of Nov. 26 that killed up to 179 people. India and the United States have held Pakistan-based terrorists for the attacks, based on the confession of the lone surviving attacker, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab.
India has asked its neighbor to take steps to dismantle what it calls the terrorist infrastructure on its soil and said all options are open in the event of Pakistani inaction.
Yesterday, Pakistan warned India against launching any strike and vowed to respond to any attack. “India should refrain from any surgical strike,” Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told reporters in Multan. “It should not commit this mistake, but if it does, Pakistan will be compelled to respond.”
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani echoed the same sentiment and repeated Pakistan’s demand that India provide evidence to support its claim that the 10 gunmen involved in the Mumbai massacre were Pakistani. “Whenever we receive evidence, we will examine it and investigate it, and we will share it with our people,” Gilani told reporters.
India has given Pakistan a letter from Qasab, reportedly saying he and the nine others were Pakistani. He also asked to meet with Pakistani envoys, but newspapers in Pakistan reported yesterday that the government has rejected the request because it has no record of Qasab as a Pakistani citizen.

Plotted to bomb Church on Christmas.
LAHORE: Intelligence agencies late Wednesday arrested an Indian national and two Afghans who were allegedly involved in the blast of GOR area in Lahore on Wednesday morning.
Identified as Sutish Anand Shukla, a resident of Indian city Calcutta, while confessing his hand in GOR blast, he also disclosed about his other three associates who remain at large, police said. (UPDATE- The other three have been caught, all Indian nationals, in possession of illegal weapons, cameras, explosives and detailed maps of Lahore)
Police have recovered three fake national identity cards, weapons and other explosive material and devices from his possession. Agencies arrested him from GOR Lahore by tracing and tapping his telephone calls, added agency sources.
Police sources said that Indian held terrorist was a former employee of Indian High Commission in London and was currently living in Pakistan in disguise of ‘Muneer’.
In course of preliminary investigation, the Indian terrorist has confessed that he along with his other associates were also plotting to strike churches in Punjab including the Lahore Cathedral.
Arrested militants name RAW, Afghan agency for funding
LAHORE: The three arrested members of a militants’ gang especially deputed by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan have disclosed that RAW has been funding suicide bomb attacks in Pakistan and that the Indian agency has funnelled Rs 680 million through its links with the Afghan secret agency.
The gang of three persons have brazenly admitted that they belong to the group of persons who had been deputed to ‘destabilise democratic Pakistan’ with the sole purpose of ‘enforcement of Shariah’ in the country.
Operators of an intelligence agency, working beyond the call of their duty, came into contact with a source ready for a tip-off against a reward and led to the arrest of Khurram Ishtiaq, Ghulam Mustafa and Shamim. The persons had been working under Qari Hussain, second-in-command to Baitullah Mehsud. All the three had been arrested on Aug 13 this year while they were on the prowl for a target. The militants had been arrested ‘red-handed’ as they possessed complete suicide kits, including two jackets and 70kg of explosives and detonators.
The accused were hardened militants and took a lot of time to break in and make confessions. They revealed that Qari Hussain had been working to help three adjutants—Farukh Usman alias Shahjee, Tayyab alias Baba; Ustad, the trainer to destabilise democratic government.
Qari Hussain, the leader, prepares suicide bombers and dispatches them throughout Pakistan. He also manages funds for the splinter groups from RAW which works in collusion with the Afghan intelligence agency RAM.
Farukh Usman works as Qari’s deputy and runs the sub-setup to carry out attacks in Lahore in particular and Punjab in general. He was the mastermind of suicide attacks on FIA building, Naval War College, Model Town, Lahore High Court and PAF bus in Sargodha, the investigation has revealed.
Tayyab alias Baba mainly deals with Rawalpindi/Islamabad. He was the man behind blasts at Aabpara Market and Marriott Hotel. The third person known only as Ustad is an expert of making bombs. He is said to be of Indian origin and he ‘works with a vengeance’. He is the man who leads suicide bombers to the marked site of the blast.
The investigation revealed that there are two sub-teams: three persons of one team work under Ustad. Two of the arrested persons—Shahmim Alam alias Sohail alias Kashif alias Uncle and Khurram Ishtiaq alias Ibrahim—have been active members of the TTP and worked under direct guidance of Ustad.
Shamim was the facilitator. His task was to distribute funds to suicide bombers at the behest of Qari Hussain and Tayyab@Baba. Being educated and a well-dressed civilian-look-alike, he was assigned another important job of providing ‘reconnaissance of the target area’.
He possesses the canny ability of mixing up with urbanites. Khurram Ishtiaq alias Ibrahim is a well-trained militant. His job is to harbour suicide bombers at a secret venue till they are led to the area of operation to carry out the job. The third person of this setup, Sajid, is a resident of Ali Khel, Waziristan. It is not certain whether his services were ‘utilized’ or made his escape good.
Another team which works under Farrukh Usman alias Shahjee includes Bablu, Rehan, Ghulam Mustafa @Asif (the third arrested person) and Abdul Rahim. Bablu’s assignment is to provide explosives at the nick of time when the suicide bombers have been finally prepared to perform the ‘sacred feat’.
Ghulam Mustafa and Abdul Rahim, a diehard Jehadi serve as guards and take care that none of perpetrators shows his back and become a deserter. In that case, there is only one choice left and that too leads one to heavens.
Former boss of the intelligence agency, Tariq Lodhi, had recommended a reward and commendation for the team who apprehended the culprits but they say their new boss Shoaib Suddle turned it down on the grounds that agency operators just did their job and no reward should be given for performing duty.
The team members disclosed that they had arrested two prime targets during Pervaiz Musharraf regime and they both had a head money of $5 million each but the reward money was shared by the two premier agencies instead passing it on to the individuals who had arrested them on their own initiative.
The team has long been working on the intelligence of militants but they got the culprits apprehended through a middleman who is ready to divulge more but “only if he is rewarded for the catch.”
The team claims that it could reach out to Qari Hussain and his gang and thus eliminate the danger of suicide blasts in Pakistan by 90 percent. Talking to The News on the condition of not divulging their names, they said, “We neither have free hand nor enough resources to break the hornet’s nest.”
