ISLAMABAD: A captured and injured terrorist from the banned outfit Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) has made startling revelations confirming the Afghan Taliban regime’s backing in the recent attack on the Pakistan Rangers Sindh camp.
The operative, identified as Usman Ali, a resident of Jalalabad, Afghanistan, disclosed during interrogation that the cross-border assault was orchestrated by a four-member cell comprising himself, Janan, Umar Farooq, and a local facilitator, Abdul Hadi. According to Usman, Janan executed the bombing on the Rangers camp, while Abdul Hadi, a resident of Bajaur who procured the weaponry from Waziristan, was eliminated during the security operation.
Usman was shot and apprehended by security forces while attempting to flee the site.
The interrogation further exposed a deeply entrenched cross-border terror network. Usman revealed that the team infiltrated Pakistan seven days prior to the attack and was covertly stationed in an under-construction building arranged by Abdul Hadi.
The operative stated that the cell received specialized training in Afghanistan under a commander identified as Ahrar Moulvi, with specific expertise in fabricating suicide vests provided by a trainer named Qari Umar.
Defence experts have noted that these confessions add to the extensive, undeniable evidence previously shared by Pakistan, highlighting how the Afghan Taliban regime continues to allow Afghan soil to serve as a safe haven for cross-border terrorism targeting Pakistan.
