Mohammad Naved, the Pakistani terrorist caught in Jammu and Kashmir
, the terrorist captured yesterday in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur, entered the state over a month and half ago during the holy period of Ramzan.
This is what the security forces have pieced together after what they call "sustained" interrogation of Naved through the night.
Naved had earlier given several contradictory and inconsistent accounts of when he infiltrated into Jammu and Kashmir and from where.
Rigorous questioning has revealed that it was across the Line of Control in the Kashmir valley - and not the International Border in Jammu - that Naved made his entry from, aided, according to sources, by guides on the Pakistani side of the border.
Since then, Naved and the other terrorist had remained hidden in the Kashmir valley and according to intelligence sources, spent a reasonable amount of time near Gulmarg, a popular tourist destination.
It is there that they procured weapons and ammunition, which raises questions of possible local support.
Just before the terror attack, they were given specific orders to target the National Highway on the stretch that is south of the Banihal Tunnel. Interrogation reveals that Naved and the second terrorist, who was killed, traveled in three trucks to cover the journey from the valley across the tunnel into Udhampur.
They took a truck on Tuesday from the Valley to Ramban and another from there to a place called Tamatar Morh on the highway, where they spent the night. On Wednesday morning, they took the third truck to launch the attack at Narsoo Nallah.
Their orders were to target the frequently moving military convoys of the Central Reserve Police Force, the Border Security Force and the Army on the highway. While interrogators are still trying to pin Naved down on exact details - for instance, there are reports that when he infiltrated there were two other terrorists who came in with him - sources now confirm to NDTV that there are no links between his module and the module that attacked the police station in Gurdaspur in Punjab last week. Both modules are assessed to have been trained by the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Questions remain on who owned the trucks in which the terrorists traveled from Kashmir to Udhampur, and where the drivers are. Sources also say in his interrogation, the one point that Naved has remained consistent about is that he is from Faisalabad in Pakistan.
