NEW DELHI: If Maharashtra ATS had arrested Himayat Baig in September 2010 in relation to the German Bakery explosion would not have been a major ambush of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in the Maharashtra Police Academy (Nashville) lines in the attack on the Manawan police academy in Lahore in March 2009, Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jindal has told investigators.
Jindal said the operation to attack the Nashik Police Academy in the early hours, exactly how 12 terrorists wearing police uniforms entered the police academy in Lahore, was done under the supervision of an agent based Lashkar in Pakistan, Rehman Baba Sheikh alias Bilal.
Jindal told his interrogators that Fayyaz Kagzi and Baig were also part of this plan, but had to leave after arrest Baig, senior sources said. However, Jindal said "an army to carry out this attack had been prepared Nashik academy in Pakistan and had got into India." But sources said he did not know where this "army" was now.
In another startling revelation, Jindal told police he had met David Coleman Headley in 2007 in the camp of Lashkar Muridke Beit-ul-Mujahideen. The sources said it was a new revelation, because Headley had suggested the role of an agent based in India Lashkar be part of the costume plans.
The sources said that Jindal has also taken some important inputs on Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar links with members of IM may have helped the 10 terrorists in Mumbai. "There are already members bonds of instant messaging in German Bakery, which Jindal knows a lot, so there is the possibility that some IM members also helped in the 26/11," said a source.
The attack on Lahore police academy took place around 7.30 am on 30 March 2009, when 12 men armed with automatic weapons, grenades and rockets, some of them dressed as police, broke into the academy and killed the men door safety.
