Click to play videoMumbai: A group of 12 men travelled from Karachi on a vessel suspected to be owned by gangster Dawood Ibrahim to attack Mumbai, the only suspect arrested for the terrorist strike on India’s commercial capital has said.
Mohammad Ajmal Mohammad Amir Kasar, 21, hails from Faridkot city in Pakistan. He was captured at the Girgaum Chowpatty Naka in Mumbai while he was trying to escape in a car he had snatched from its owner.
Kasar has given the police vital information about how the terrorist strike on Mumbai was planned. A group of Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists surveyed and prepared detailed maps of the locations they wanted to attack in Mumbai.
All terrorists were trained in two camps for three months. To navigate through Mumbai, they had GPS direction finders and Google earth maps on CDs.
Security officials suspect the Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan’s intelligence agency, and Dawood’s crime network supported the terrorists.
Intelligence agencies have informed the government that the material found on the trawler Kuber proves Pakistan’s link to the terror attack. The trawler was recovered 5 km away from Mumbai's coastline after being spotted by naval air surveillance. There was a satellite phone was on board and the logs show calls were made to Jalalabad in Afghanistan and locations in Pakistan.
Intelligence agencies reckon the terrorists hijacked Kuber mid-sea after they got off a merchant vessel, likely to be owned by Dawood, from Karachi.
The terrorists killed the most of the crew on board the Kuber and threw their bodies into the sea. The trawler’s skipper, Amarsinh Solanki, and one crew member were then asked navigate the trawler towards the Mumbai coast.
The terrorists killed the crewmember after a while and threw him overboard. Five nautical miles short of the Mumbai coast, Solanki was killed. The terrorists got into two dinghies and rowed to a place in Cuffe Parade.
The Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) have submitted to the government reports on immediate measures to be taken to upgrade intelligence gathering.
Intelligence agencies have advised the Union government to ask Pakistan to dismantle the terror infrastructure of LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen.
