Indian intelligence agencies have sought assistance from Saudi Arabia in tracking down a major terror module that posed threat to key Indian establishments.
“We have some idea as to who might be guiding this module sitting in Saudi Arabia. But we want to be absolutely certain and have sought help from the agencies in Saudi Arabia,” a top intelligence official said.
In its note forwarded to Saudi Arabia the Indian agencies have said that investigations point towards terror outfits developing a strong network in the Gulf countries. At least two top terror operatives, Abu Jundal and Mohammed Fasih, have been caught in Saudi Arabia in recent times.
The arrest of these two has seen a greater degree of co-operation between the two countries on terror and security related issues. As investigations have now confirmed that some of the suspects had been to Saudi Arabia the agencies are trying to get details of the places they visited and whom all they had met during their stay there. Indian agencies are certain that the activities of this particular terror module were eventually being directed by the Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).
“It is possible that some of these suspects also travelled to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia on fake passport to meet some ISI officials. This aspect is being looked into,” the official added.
