| Pakistan man admits he is Naved's 'unfortunate father'; says Lashkar after family | | | Agencies
New Delhi, Aug 6: Even as India and Pakistan wrangled over the nationality of a militant captured after a deadly attack in Udhampur, on Thursday a Pakistan-based man who identified himself as the "unfortunate father" of the attacker. "I'll be killed. The Lashkar is after us and the fauj is after us," Mohammad Yakub told a news paper in India in chaste Punjabi when contacted on a phone number disclosed to interrogators by the arrested gunman Mohammad Naved. "You are calling from India. We'll be killed. I am the unfortunate father," said Yakub, who sounded flustered when he answered the call from National Daily. "The Lashkar is after us. They probably wanted him dead and not caught alive. Please spare him," Yakub said, referring to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the Pakistan-based militant group behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks. I came to kill Indians, it's fun: captured Pak militant Naved . The call was made at 1.22 pm and lasted a minute and 20 seconds before a frightened Yakub hung up. The phone has been switched off since then. Naved also told his interrogators that he belonged to the LeT. Pakistan has said Naved is not its citizen, but Indian authorities dismissed that claim on Thursday. Pakistani journalists were stopped from going to towards Ghulam Mohammadabad locality in Faisalabad, an address provided by Naved. India will take up Pakistan's denial of Naved's citizenship at the meeting of National Security Advisors. Pakistan's NSA Sartaj Aziz and his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval are slated to meet later this month to "discuss all issued related to terrorism" as agreed upon in a joint statement issued in Ufa, Russia following a meeting between prime ministers Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif on July 10. |
