NEW DELHI: Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed's son-in-law Khalid Waleed is suspected to have masterminded the June 25 attack on a CRPF convoy inPampore , with two of his deputies Hanzla Adnan and Sajid Jat playing handlers to the two terrorists and LeT commander for south Kashmir Abu Dujana arranging the local logistics.
Intelligence agencies and Jammu & Kashmir police have found credible evidence to prove that Pakistan was directly involved in Saturday's attack.
Incidentally, Hanzla and Sajid were also handlers of Mohammad Naveed, the LeT terrorist caught alive during an attack on a BSF convoy on August 5 last year, intelligence sources have told TOI. Hanzla and Sajid are Kashmir veterans who moved to Pakistan some years ago.
Top sources told TOI that Khalid Waleed is being groomed by Hafiz Saeed to oversee anti-India operations of Lashkar-e-Taiba, including attacks on forces in J&K.
"We believe Waleed, who has been associated with Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) for a long time and now handling LeT operations, gave instructions for this operation," said an officer.
Abu Qital, who oversees the terror camps of LeT in Azad Kashmir, is said to have overseen training of the two Lashkar attackers and facilitated their infiltration into J&K.
Intelligence agencies have also identified LeT's India handler as 'Abu Dujana', divisional commander for south Kashmir, as the one who arranged over ground workers (OGWs) for the two fidayeen who killed eight CRPF personnel and injured 22 in the Pampore ambush on Saturday. Dujana is suspected to have arranged the fidayeen's stay and travel to the attack site. Reports have suggested that two surrendered militants had come to drop the terrorists in a Maruti 800 car on Saturday evening.
Sources say Pakistan's role is established from the fact that the two fidayeens, reportedly from Pakistan's Punjab, carried articles like seven grenades with 'Pakistan Ordnance Factory" markings, medicines, track suits and shoes made in Pakistan, packets of dates not available in India, 11 magazines of AK-47 rifles and used/live rounds procured in Pakistan. The terrorists tried to obliterate the markings on grenades but one can easily see the inscription, said an officer.
"It is definitely an LeT attack. The modus operandi, claim by outfit and investigation so far prove that," said J&K DGP K Rajendra Kumar.
The developments come even as CRPF DG K Durga Prasad on Monday rejected defence minister Mohan Parikkar's claims that there was a deviation from SOP by the CRPF convoy.
