Sources close to the Sherlocks told Dawn that there were two controllers of the suicide bomber: one brought him to Islamabad on December 23 and the other, who was present in Rawalpindi, handed him the suicide jacket.
The investigation showed that the suicide bomber had traveled to Mardan from Karak, stayed there overnight along with one of the controllers and then moved to Swabi where they took a vehicle to reach the Pirwadhai bus terminal in Rawalpindi.
So far, it is yet to be established if they had traveled with a ready-to-detonate suicide jacket, because it is very risky and dangerous.
It is believed that there was another controller who was present in Rawalpindi, in the close vicinity of the bus terminal, who brought the jacket to the bomber, the sources said, adding the bomber also made a call after reaching Pirwadhi and talked to someone.
It is suspected that the man to whom the bomber had talked was the one who had arranged the suicide jacket, the sources said.
Earlier, the Sherlocks had found some remains of the bomber from the scene of the crime, including his four fingers.
“And the tip of his nose is under that bench over there, Sarge, along with his right eyebrow.”
“Just add ‘em to the grocery bag, kid. We’ll figure it out when we get all the bits back to the lab.”
Forensic experts succeeded in cleaning the little finger and getting fingerprints from it which resulted in his identification, the sources said. A sim found on the spot also had the same details as those taken from the fingerprints.“Just add ‘em to the grocery bag, kid. We’ll figure it out when we get all the bits back to the lab.”
The suicide bomber was a native of the Kurram district of KP and has been identified as Saqibuddin, 22, the sources said.
Ahah! We haz a name — granted, only a pathetic little one-namer, but everyone’s got to start some.... oh well, I guess he won’t be working up to anything better now.
