The investigation report of last month’s deadly attack on General Headquarters Rawalpindi has been dispatched to Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
During investigation, most of the information was given by Aqeel Ahmed alias Dr Usman, the mastermind of the attack, security sources told this news agency.
The investigation team, comprising senior officers of an intelligence agency, was constituted by Chief of Army Staff Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, sources said.
The report said the
perpetrators of the attack
on the GHQ had planned
to hold some generals
hostage to get their demands accepted.
The terrorists stayed at Rawalpindi for at least one month to get information and monitor the GHQ but due to strict security measures they could not get needed information about the army’s headquarters, it added.
No high profile terrorists were among those who were arrested from Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Lahore and other areas of the country, but majority of them had assisted the perpetrators of the terrorist attack, the sources said.
No army man or employee of the GHQ was directly or indirectly involved in the deadly event, the sources said. During investigation, Dr Usman told the interrogators that they wanted to storm army headquarters on the day of corps commanders meeting so that they could hold two generals hostage to get their 100 arrested accomplices including members of banned organization released, the sources added.
