Jammu,December 24 – Three Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists, including an infantry soldier of the Pakistan Army have been arrested by police in Jammu on Tuesday .

Disclosing this, DG Police Khuda said, all the three are residents of Pakistan and trained by the JeM. He said, arrested terrorists were to launch a suicide attack in Jammu during the ongoing assembly polls in the state.

During interrogation the ultras revealed that they had flown from Karachi to Dhaka from where they took rail routes to reach Jammu.

DG also apprised media that Farid had joined the Pakistan Army in 2001 and was detailed for terrorist activities in 2005. The others have been identified as Mohammad Abdullah belonging to Harpur in North West Frontier Province and Mohammed Imran, from Dera Nawab in Bawalpur.

Khuda added that preliminary interrogations have revealed that they had received specialised training in suicide attacks and driving exlposive-laden vehicles. He also informed that four J&K militants may already have reached Kashmir as per the interrogation of these three.

The plan was to execute an attack similar to the Marriot hotel blasts in Pakistan with the intention of creating poll disturbance in the state. An explosives-laden vehicle was to be taken for blasts at crowded places. The consignment of ammunition was to be handed over to them locally by a guide whom they were waiting for in a Jammu hotel. Fortunately the guide was unable to reach there due to road blockage caused by weather conditions.

Interrogation so far has revealed that the suicide bombers had received training from IC-814 hijacker Masood Azhar’s brother in Karachi.

Apparently, two ISI officers had provided them with passports to reach Bangladesh capital Dhaka after they underwent training in explosives in Khulna city of the country. Subsequently they crossed the Malda border and entered Indian territory on the 17th of this month.
