20 men involved in 26/11 among 119 wanted terrorists in Pak
Rezaul H Laskar
Islamabad, Mar 4 (PTI) Twenty men who allegedly helped
plan and carry out the Mumbai attacks, including several
Lashker-e-Toiba operatives, figure among the 119 "most wanted"
terrorists in Pakistan but the list excludes top leaders of
Pakistani Taliban and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
The 20 men are wanted in connection with a case
registered by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and have
been booked under provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act,
Pakistan Penal Code and a cyber crimes law.
They figure in the "Red Book" or list of 119 "most
wanted terrorists" that was drawn up by the FIA in October
last year with help from provincial police forces.
However, the name of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar or
that of the top leaders of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan do not
figure in the list. Pakistani authorities have also refused to
arrest LeT founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed in connection with
26/11 attacks, saying there is no evidence against him.
Heading the list of 20 Pakistani nationals wanted for
the Mumbai attacks is Muhammad Amjad Khan, a shadowy LeT
organiser and facilitator based in Karachi.
Khan hails from Multan in Punjab province and his name
has figured prominently in information provided by Pakistan to
India in several dossiers.
Others on the list are Iftikhar Ali of Faisalabad, who
deposited USD 250 for a Voice over Internet Protocol
connection that was used for communications by the Mumbai
attackers, and LeT financiers Sufyan Zafar of Gujranwala,
Muhammad Usman Zia of Rawalpindi, Muhammad Abbas Nasir of
Khanewal, Javed Iqbal of Kasur, Mukhtar Ahmad of Mandi
Bahauddin and Ahmed Saeed of Batagram. (MORE) PTI
