New Delhi, Jan 7: Six terrorists, part of a Pakistani group which struck in Mumbai, have been sent to Kashmir for "some operations", according to the dossier India handed over to Pakistan.
Citing the interrogation report of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist held during the Mumbai attacks, the dossier says that the six terrorists had undergone training in various parts of Pakistan along with seven of the 10 terrorists who were responsible for the November 26 carnage in the western metropolis.
The terrorists were trained at Lashkar-e-Taiba camps in Muridke, Manshera and Muzaffarabad (in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir), says the dossier which has included Kasab's interrogation report as part of evidence to show Pakistani linkages to the three-day long siege.
Initially, the group consisted of 32 terrorists who were imparted basic knowledge of firearms, ammunition, grenades and explosives, according to the dossier.
Later, they were taught to handle and fire Kalashnikov (AK) rifles and 9 mm pistols and how to fabricate explosive devices. They were also imparted training in techniques to "counter interrogation" and "tolerate pain".
Besides, they were indoctrinated to become suicide bombers, Kasab has revealed.
"Ultimately, 13 persons out of the group (of 32) were selected for carrying out attacks in India. Six of the 13 were sent for some operations in Kashmir," the dossier said.
Three new members were brought to join the remaining seven terrorists, making the number 10 for the Mumbai group.
One of the new members was Ismail Khan, who eventually became the leader of the group that attacked Mumbai, the dossier says.
Ismail, who along with Kasab attacked the CST railway station and got killed on November 26, was a 25-year-old resident of Dera Ismail Khan in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP).
The 10-member group was told about the "Mumbai operations" in mid-September last year, after which they were kept in isolation in a house near Karachi and all contacts between the group and others were cut off, the dossier says.
"The group was closely monitored by Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, Abu Hamza, Yousuf alias Muzammil and Kaafa, all senior functionaries of the LeT," the dossier notes, adding that the first three are known to intelligence agencies of many countries.
Besides Kasab and Ismail, the dossier also contains addresses of other eight terrorists in Pakistan. These are: Babar Imran alias Abu Aksha of Multan, Naser alias Abu Umar of Faisalabad, Shoaib alias Abu Saheb of Shakkargarh Naroval, Sialkot, Nazir alias Abu Umer of Faisalabad, Hafiz Arshad alias Abu Abdar Rehman 'Bada' of Multan, Javed alias Abu Ali of Okara, Abdur Rehman alias Abdar Rehman 'Chhota' and Fahadulla of Ujrashah Mukim, Rasur Road, Okara.
The dossier also contains details of documents, instruments and other material used by the 10 terrorists. These include GPS instruments and a satellite phone.
The terrorists had been directed to throw the satellite phone in the sea before reaching Mumbai but they failed to do so and left it in the boat they used as they abandoned it in panic.
