Training In Pakistan
A senior police official close to the probe said that Rahman sent Osama and Zeeshan Qamar, a resident of Prayagraj, to Oman capital Muscat to join training in Pakistan, IANS reported.
After they reached Muscat, Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) took them to Gwadar port through sea routes for training them in making explosives and bombs.
As per the inputs, both Osama and Zeeshan Qamar were given training in making bombs and IEDs and committing arson with the help of daily-use items.
They were also trained in handling and use of small firearms and AK-47s.
The report further stated that during the interrogation, it was disclosed that Osama left for Muscat in April where he met Zeeshan.
They were then joined by 15-16 Bengali-speaking people and were further divided into sub-groups where Zeeshan and Osama were placed in one group.
After several short sea-journeys over the next few days where they changed boats several times, they were taken to the town Jioni near Gwadar port in Pakistan. They were received by a Pakistani who took them to a farmhouse in Thatta.
As per the inputs, there were three Pakistani nationals in the farmhouse. Two of these, Jabbar and Hamza imparted training to them. Both are believed to be from the Pakistan Army as they wore military uniforms.
The training lasted for almost 15 days and thereafter, they were taken back to Muscat through the same route.
Besides Osama and Zeeshan, the other four arrested accused terrorists have been identified as Jaan Mohammad Shaikh, a resident of Mumbai; the rest of the three hail from Uttar Pradesh -- Moolchand, resident of Rae Bareli, Mohd Abu Bakar from Behraich, and Mohd Amir Javed from Lucknow.
All six accused will remain in police custody till September 29.
