| Mumbai blasts engineered by Pakistan-trained terrorists: Akmal | | | September 2(Mumbai):
ATS sources today said that the 7/11 Mumbai blasts were engineered and carried out by 17 Pakistan-trained terrorists.
However, they added that 16 of the 17 have escaped in Pakistan.
This information, sources say, was revealed by an ex-Pakistani havaldar and divisional commander of the terror outfit Al-Badr Akmal Hashmi.
Hashmi was arrested in Kulgam in south Kashmir on August 23. He will be produced in a Mumbai court on Sunday.
According to sources, Hashmi crossed over into India in 1996. However, he then returned to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
However, there are conflicting reports as Jammu and Kashmir police sources suggest that Hashmi's testimony is highly unreliable, since initial interrogations found nothing linking him with the 7/11 attacks.
The serial blasts that took place during the evening rush hour on trains running on Mumbai's Western Railway line on July 11 had resulted in the death of over 170 people.
