Mumbai:
India has sought access from Pakistan to Ilyas Kashmiri, a top Pakistan based terrorist, who was recently named by terror suspect David Headley. Kashmiri also has a 26/11 connection. A group he heads finds mention in the audio conversations between a handler in Pakistan and a terrorist inside Nariman House.
What is the connection between 26/11 and the man who is one of Pakistan's and now India's most wanted?
Three new dossiers have been handed over to Pakistan. One of them on 26/11 accused, another on Ilyas Kashmiri, one of the Al-Qaida's top men in Pakistan.
Now here's the link between the two.
Abu Jundal, the alleged Indian 26/11 handler, briefed Imran Babar, a terrorist inside Nariman house on what he should tell the Indian media as the 26/11 attack unfolded.
The 26/11 connection to Ilyas Kashmiri is found in the words "313 Brigade".
The 313 Brigade is said to be an umbrella organisation of terror groups like the Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammed headed by Kashmiri. He was once closely associated with the Pakistan's ISI.
The statement meant to be a warning to India that Kashmiri's group would attack India.
Kashmiri is the operational head of the 313 Brigade, who made a statement warning India. At a rally in one of Pakistan's tribal held areas, Kashmiri is said to have threatened attacks on the Commonwealth Games, the Indian Premier League and the Hockey World Cup.
Kashmiri is already wanted in Pakistan for several attacks, including the one on the Marriot Hotel that killed over 50 people. He also made an attempt to assassinate former Pakistan president Parvez Musharraf.
India's interest also piqued after terror accused David Headley named Kashmiri as his guru.
Officially at least, Pakistan says they are helpless. They claim ignorance about Kashmiri's whereabouts since he operates from the remote tribal areas of Waziristan. Add to that Kashmiri is a wanted accused in Pakistan and carries a 600,000 dollar reward on his head.
In this scenario, will India's request for access to Kashmiri bear fruit? Now that's a million dollar question.
