| The Army on Sunday arrested a top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir. Mohd Shezad, 25-year-old resident of Lathiwala village in Pakistan’s Faisalabad distict, is the LeT commander in Banihal area of Doda district. He was arrested in injured condition after an encounter. Shezad rubbished Pakistan’s disclaimers that it did not provide any help to militants and said LeT and other terrorist outfits openly run their offices in his native district and other places to lure youth into "jehad" in Jammu and Kashmir through literature and other means. He said Pakistani army does "everything" to facilitate infiltration of terrorists and they are lodged at Pakistan army’s border posts before being pushed into Kashmir. "I too was motivated to join in as I was told that mosques are being burnt down in J&K and Muslims are being oppressed. But I did not find anything of that sort happening here", he said. Shehzad said he underwent eight months training with at least 1000 other terrorists at one of the 10 camps of LeT in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. |
