One
of the handlers of the November
26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai attacks
and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)
operative Abu Jundal’s internet
protocol (IP) addresses will be
access by the Police officials
to ascertain the fact that he
communicated with his fellow terrorists
through email when he was on the
run and was in Bangladesh, Pakistan
and Saudi Arabia," said a
police officer, reports Times
of India on August 2. The
crime branch of the police has
applied for a letter Rogatory
(LR) to be issued to a US court
so that it may seek information
from Google and Yahoo! about the
online activities of 26/11 accused
Zabiuddin Ansari, alias Abu Jundal.
One of the officers interrogating
Jundal said the police want information
about nine email accounts and
one Face book profile used by
the terrorist. Jundal has told
the police he used these to be
in touch with his LeT handlers
and mentors (Faiyaz Kagzi, Aslam
Kashmiri, Abu Junaid and Shaukat).
Meanwhile,
Abu Jundal revealed that one of
the key participants in the preparation
of the 26/11 terror strike, another
top Lashkar e Toiba (LeT) commander,
Abu al Kafa, had apprised Headley
of the five targets in Mumbai.
Abu al Kafa had briefed US national
David Coleman Headley about the
sites in Mumbai to be recced for
the attack. Kafa’s name first
surfaced during the interrogation
of captured 26/11 attacker Ajmal
Amir Kasab, who had reportedly
revealed that Kafa, an expert
in handling arms and explosives,
had trained them and was one of
the LeT commanders who came to
see them off at Karachi harbour.
The crime branch suspects that
if Jundal’s claims are true, It
is not possible for Kafa, a LeT
commander largely confined to
the terror camps, to know the
location and topography of the
targets, especially a place like
Chabad House which was not even
known to the locals in Colaba
before it came under attack.
As
reported earlier, Jundal was arrested
on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police
at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International
Airport after being deported from
Saudi Arabia. |
