LeT militant Khurshid Ahmed

While Pakistan is delaying its response on the 26/11 dossier, TIMES NOW gets an exclusive interview with a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, who confessed that he was trained in Paksitan. Even as Islamabad continues to be in denial mode, there is fresh proof of terror groups operating from Pakistani soil.

LeT militant Khurshid Ahmed, confessed to TIMES NOW that he was trained near Lahore and that he was caught by the army while doing a recce in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

Mohammad Rafiq Chowdhury, DSP Poonch said, "Two years ago he went to meet relatives in Pakistan. He says he was trained at a militant camp. He was sent to India with arms."

In an interview with TIMES NOW's Pradeep Dutta, twenty-nine-year-old Khurshid revealed details of his training at the LeT camp.

Pradeep: Who trained you?
Militant: The Mujahideen

Pradeep: Which group?
Militant: Lashkar-e-Toiba

Pradeep: How long was your training?
Militant: 15 days

Pradeep: What did they teach you?
Militant: I was trained in firearms

Pradeep: How many boys are being trained?
Militant: At least 100

With Khurshid's arrest a major terror attack seems to have been foiled as the the LeT man was identified soft targets.

Pradeep: Why were you sent to India?
Militant: To do a recce for infiltration

Pradeep: How many militants will cross over?
Militant: They are still being trained

Pradeep: Where are they being trained?
Militant: In Lahore

Pradeep: Where in Lahore?
Militant: At Markaz

Markaz, where Khursid was trained, is the headquarters of the Jamat-ud-Dawa. It is also the very place where the terrorists who attacked Mumbai were trained.

Contrary to Pakistan's claims terror camps continue to flourish on its soil. The syllabus in these terror school which includes indoctrination and arms training is aimed to target India.

[Awesome]

1) he never said he was trained in Pakistan.
2) What is the credibility of these guys?

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

err.. the JuD HQ has been taken over by the GoP, and from the images of it, there did not seem to be any military style training facilities there.

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

1) he never said he was trained in Pakistan.
2) What is the credibility of these guys?

Given the possibility of torture and the Indian attempts to smear Pakistan, not much I would say.

 

[SurvivoR]

And just in 15 days he became a super duper militant?

 

[Flintlock]

You guys are just not reading properly.

He did. Read it again.

doesn't specify that he was trained in that specific complex.

And just in 15 days he became a super duper militant?

He got caught. Clearly he's not a "Super duper militant".

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

Doesn't specify when he was trained. Also doesn't specify that he was trained in that specific complex.

Pradeep: How many militants will cross over?
Militant: They are still being trained

Pradeep: Where are they being trained?
Militant: In Lahore

Pradeep: Where in Lahore?
Militant: At Markaz

Markaz, where Khursid was trained, is the headquarters of the Jamat-ud-Dawa. It is also the very place where the terrorists who attacked Mumbai were trained.

I think it follows from the questions that he is alleging he was trained at the Markaz - hence my comments.

 

[Flintlock]

But Why are you denying it? Don't you support these "Freedom Fighters"?

 

[dabong1]

I hope it is true......after years of "peace talks" pakistan got nothing solid in return for closing down training camps and putting a freeze on cross LoC movement,The two major points that the indians wanted before any resolution on kashmir could take place.

I have been saying from the start that he only way to win kashmir is through a true jihad.

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

But Why are you denying it? Don't you support these "Freedom Fighters"?

Deny what? The fact that the Markaz was taken over by the GoP was announced and reported by multiple news organizations.

I do not support those who commit terrorism such as that in Mumbai - I do believe you are distorting when you state the above.

 

[Awesome]

You guys are just not reading properly.



He did. Read it again.

You need to read it again. He talks about some other so called militants being trained in Lahore. Himself he just says Mujahideen. But most importantly why don't free militants claim to be from Pakistan? Seriously come down to Lahore and then talk about any sign of militancy in Lahore. It's got Pakistan's most Modern people there.

 

[dabong1]

But Why are you denying it? Don't you support these "Freedom Fighters"?

I am more inclined to believe that its another indian media stunt but i do hope it is true that the pak govt has finally woken up to the fact that the only way to get kashmir and keep the indian army tied down is by sending in the freedom fighers.

Now you're wimping out of an argument you started. Foreign journalists have all seen "the markaz". There's no such training being given there. Schools for the poor and humanitarian work. Again Indians creating sensationalism from hearsay.

You think that the terrorists are going to invite journalists to see the real terrorist camp?

Oh right they quickly hid everything and transformed the HEADQUARTERS of the mumbai seizing militants into a fairyland overnight...

If only foreign journalists had seen under the rug...
