D-Company provided logistic support for 26/11: Report
LET-DAWOOD
Lalit K Jha
Washington, Apr 6 (PTI) Karachi-based D-Company of the
fugitive Indian underworld don Dawood Ibrahim possibly had an
important role in 26/11 carnage by providing logistic support
to the LeT-operatives to carry out the deadly operation,
adding a new dimension to the Mumbai terror attacks.
The involvement of the D-Company in the Mumbai attacks
has come out in a report on Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) released by
the Strategic Studies Institute of the US Army War College,
the Department of Defence, which says that the D-Company is
now closely tied with LeT activities in India.
According to the report, Dawood Ibrahim is believed
to have resided in Pakistan since 1993 and now owns malls,
luxury homes, and shipping and trucking lines that smuggle
arms and heroin into India.
In exchange for his refuge in Pakistan, the report said a
percentage of D-Company's profits were diverted to
ISI-supported Islamic militant groups such as LeT.
"Evidence demonstrates that these links were formed
in late 1993 or early 1994. Photographs of Tiger Memon posing
with leaders of the Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front (JKIF) at
an ISI safe house in Muzaffarabad surfaced and served as the
first proof of the involvement of mafia money in Kashmir," the
report said.
The report authored by Ryan Clarke says the D-Company
has now extended its base to Saudi Arabia too.
"LeT, which is estimated to be responsible for 60
per cent of terrorist killings in India, has been able to
establish cells in several parts of the world as a result of
assistance received from elements within ISI and Dawood's
network within India and in the Gulf," the report said.
"There have been arrests of LeT operatives all over
the world, including seven arrests by the US Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI) during then Pakistan President
Musharraf's June 2003 visit to the United States.
Even though the information was repressed in order to
avoid embarrassing Musharraf, the operatives from Washington
and Philadelphia were eventually charged with "stockpiling
weapons and conspiring to wage jihad against India in support
of terrorists in Kashmir," it said.
Further, US authorities claim that there are still
two wanted suspects related to these arrests that are residing
in Saudi Arabia. (MORE) PTI LKJ
