Some Parliament attackers may have been mercenaries
2001-12-14
  • Indian sources believed two of five Parliament attackers could be Kashmiris and other three foreign mercenaries, probably Afghans. Times of India says there were two Afghan nationals, two Kashmir residents and a Pakistan national. At least 20 people, apart from the five slain terrorists, were in some way involved in the planning of the attack. It possibly required over two months of planning and organising. Investigators have already rounded up over a dozen people for questioning. "The slain terrorists were found in possession of five mobile phones and a number of cash cards. The record of these phones was checked and this led us to the suspects we have so far rounded up," said a police official. What a relief. That brings it back to probably the Taliban, which points the finger at Gen. Gul and the rogue ISI as the culprits, rather than Boskone/Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Professor Moriarty.
