LeT planned to attack Nashik police academy

NewDelhi:Had the Maharashtra ATS (anti-terrorism squad ) not arrested Himayat Baig in September 2010 in connection with the German Bakery blast,there would have been a major ambush by the Lashkar -e-Taiba (LeT) on the Maharashtra police academy (Nashik ) on the lines of the attack on Manawan police academy in Lahore in March 2009,Syed Zabihuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal has told investigators.
Jundal claimed that the operation to attack the Nashik police academy in the early hours,exactly the way 12 terrorists wearing police uniforms entered the Lahore police academy,was made under the supervision of a Pakistanbased Lashkar operative,Baba Rehman Sheikh alias Bilal.
Jundal told interrogators that Fayyaz Kagzi and Baig were also part of this plan,but they had to drop it after Baigs arrest,highly placed sources said.However,Jundal said a troop to carry out this Nashik academy attack had been made ready in Pakistan and it had also entered India.But sources said he did not know where this troop was now.
In another startling revelation,Jundal told the cops that he had met David Coleman Headley in 2007 at Lashkars Beitul-Mujahideen camp in Muridke.Sources said this was a key disclosure because Headley had hinted at an Indiabased Lashkar operative being part of the outfits plans.
Sources said Jundal had also given some important inputs about the Indian Mujahideens linkages with Lashkar and that the IMs members may have helped the 10 terrorists involved in the 2008 Mumbai massacre.

Docus show Pak sheltered Jundal

Abu Jundal was not only close to Hafiz Saeed and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi but was also given state immunity,which is clearly seen in his official Pakistani documents.His Pakistani passport and National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis,in the name of Riyasat Ali,mention his address as a place close to Muridke,location of LeTs HQ.The ID card says he is entitled to visa-free entry to Pakistan,evidence of high-level state support.P 11
