I am going away for jihad: Kasab told his mother in Pak
Ajmal Amir Iman, the lone terrorist captured for the Mumbai terror attacks, told residents of his village in Pakistan's Punjab province during his last visit there that he was going away for 'jihad.'
Iman, also known as Ajmal Kasab, visited Faridkot village in Okara district of Punjab (Pakistan) about five months ago and asked his mother to bless him before he embarked on jehad, local residents were quoted as saying in a report aired by 'Geo News' channel on Saturday.
"He came to the village about five or six months ago. He told his mother he was going away for jihad. He asked her to bless him and to leave his fate in the hands of Allah," said an unnamed resident of Faridkot in what the channel described as secretly filmed footage.
The channel said most people of Faridkot and nearby Depalpur sub-district were reluctant to talk about Iman on the record. However, in the secretly filmed footage, some residents were shown discussing his last visit to the village.
"A man from Faridkot said that on his last visit to the village, Ajmal gathered a group of boys near a school and asked them to catch him. He demonstrated feats of wrestling to them. Then we heard he had left home and joined a jehadi group," a man said.
A village elder shown in the footage said Iman's father Amir Kasab had moved to Faridkot from the nearby Haveli Lakha. Amir Kasab used to sell 'pakoras' from a hand cart that he pushed around the village, the elder said.
The president of the press club in Depalpur too confirmed in secretly filmed footage that Iman was from Faridkot. The channel also quoted residents of Faridkot as saying that Iman's father had confirmed to several people that the gunman whose pictures were shown in the media was his son.
'Geo News' beamed footage of what it said was a large number of operatives of intelligence agencies who were present in Faridkot. It also aired footage of intelligence operatives deployed outside Iman's home.
It said a man named Ghafoor is currently living in Amir Kasab's home and the current whereabouts of Iman's parents were unknown.
The TV channel's report came a day after the 'Dawn' newspaper reported that Amir Kasab had admitted that the gunman captured in Mumbai was his son.
The Pakistan government has said that it has not been officially informed by India about the identity and nationality of Iman. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has asked India to share information and evidence about the Mumbai attacks to take forward the investigation into the incident.
even we know that the one who is arrested is from faridkot, punjab but he has only mentioned that they had undergone training in Pakistan. There were about ten terrorist who attacked mumbai, maybe the rest 9 were pakistanis. As everyone knows pakistan is a hub for terrorist than what action are they taking to curb terrorism rather they are supporting terrorism. we had what was americas reaction after 9/11 , this was just once but we indians constantly live under the threat of these attacks, what do you suggest how should we react????????????? this is a question for all of u to answer.
