ISLAMABAD: The law enforcement agencies in Pakistan know that the militants and target killers of Karachi have been getting training in India for two decades and on some occasions such things were recorded in black and white and even presented before the courts.
One of the most notorious target killers of Karachi, Ajmal Pahari who has confessed to have killed at least 111 people ever since he joined a political party, has even confessed before the Joint Interrogation Team that he got training from India along with few other boys.
This JIT was carried out by Inter Services Intelligence, Military Intelligence, Intelligence Bureau, Pakistan Rangers Sindh, Karachi police, Special Branch and CID Karachi. Similarly many other target killers who were arrested also made similar confessions but Pahari is considered as one of the most notorious killers, who has been heading the target killers’ squad.
Senior police officer from Karachi Rao Anwar also conducted a presser claiming that two arrested militants, Tahir alias Lamba and Junaid Khan, were trained by Indian intelligence agency RAW as per their confessions. According to Anwer, the two target killers went to India via Thailand to be trained by RAW.
Ajmal Pahari made the following confessions before ISI, MI, IB, police, Special Branch, Rangers and CID: “I along with Zeeshan Pib Wala on the directions of N went to Singapore in 1996. When we reached Singapore I informed N and told my location. N told me that I must wait and soon Jameel @ Jimmy will met me with next schedule. We stayed for one week in a hotel in Mustafa Market. Jameel Jimmy came to us from South Africa. Also Zeeshan Pib Wala didn’t know about the programme. Jameel Jimmy took our passports and photographs. Jameel arranged Indian visas and sent us to India via Singapore Airline. Sunny who escaped from Karachi received us in India at Delhi airport and took us to a house where we stayed for 15 days. Then he took us to the training center in a jungle near to Delhi.”
“When we reached at Indian Training Center, we met Noora (Shah Faisal Colony wala), Zafar Tension (Buffer Zone wala), Raju (North Nazimabad Wala) and Shakir Choota of Orangi Town. The training continued for one month. There were five Indian Army Instructors who trained us. Four names are Raj, Sooraj, Ravi and saleem.
“After completion of one-month training, Sunny came and took four of us and kept us at the same house in Dehli. We stayed there for six months. After training, Sunny brought different books on revolution and everybody had been motivated that if we didn’t get our rights, than we have to work under the leadership and make our separate state on Karachi and major parts of Sindh. We used weapons AK 47, G-3, MP-5, LMG rocket launcher and grenade.”Pahari also disclosed that an original rocket was also fired on the last day of training by Indian instructors. Moreover, Pahari and his accomplices came back to Pakistan via Shakarghar border.
Pahari also revealed that his major accomplices in Karachi were Qamar alias Tedi; Saeed alias Bahraam; Agha Adeel alias Agha Murtaza; Ishtiaq alias Police wala; Imtiaz Commando; Ubaid alias K-2; Waseem alias Boss; Kaleem alias Orangi Wala, Sani; Mani; Shakeel Umer; Illyas alias Raju; Kashif David; Saleem alias Dentor; Ameen (Baldia wala) and Waseem alias Tunta.
