Jammu,
Aug
21:
A
highly
trained
Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT)
guide,
who
also
worked
for
Pakistan
Army’s
intelligence
unit,
was
arrested
after
being
shot
at
by
the
Indian
Army
near
the
Line
of
Control
(LoC)
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir’s
Rajouri
district
on
Sunday,
officials
said.

Tabarak
Hussain
(32),
a
resident
of
Sabzkot
village
of
Kotli
in
Pakistan-occupied
Kashmir
(PoK),
was
arrested
for
the
second
time
in
six
years
while
trying
to
infiltrate
into
the
Indian
side
of
the
border,
they
said.
Previously,
he
and
his
younger
brother
Haron
Ali
had
undergone
26
months
of
imprisonment
before
being
repatriated
via
the
Attari-Wagah
border
in
Amritsar.

This
time,
he
was
apparently
planning
a
‘fidayeen’
(suicide)
attack,
the
officials
said.
“Mai
marne
ke
liye
aaya
tha,
mujhe
dhoka
de
diya.
Bhaijaan
mujhe
yahan
se
nikalo,”
(I
came
to
die
but
was
betrayed.
Brothers,
pull
me
out
from
here),
a
wounded
Hussain
cried
when
the
army
arrested
him.
The
officials
said
hairs
on
his
private
part
and
armpits
were
found
to
be
shaved,
which
terrorists
do
while
on
a
suicide
mission,
as
seen
in
the
past.

Earlier,
Rajouri
Senior
Superintendent
of
Police
Mohammad
Aslam
said
army
troops
guarding
the
LoC
in
Sehar
Makri
area
of
Nowshera
sector
noticed
suspicious
movement
of
an
infiltrator,
who
was
challenged
but
he
started
to
run.
“On
this,
the
intruder
was
fired
upon
and
was
then
intercepted
in
an
injured
condition.

He
was
provided
medical
facilities
at
the
local
army
establishment
and
has
now
(been)
shifted
to
the
army
hospital
in
Rajouri,”
the
officer
said,
adding
he
was
responding
positively
to
the
treatment.
In
April
2016,
Hussain
and
his
then
15-year-old
brother
Ali
were
sent
with
three
other
terrorists
–
Mohammad
Kafil,
Mohammad
Ali
and
Yasin
–
from
Kaldio-Sabzkot.

They
were
carrying
war-like
stores
and
planned
to
plant
Improvised
Explosive
Devices
on
operational
tracks
near
forward
posts
used
by
Indian
Army.
While
Kafil,
Mohammad
Ali
and
Yain
escaped,
the
two
brothers
were
arrested
on
April
25
that
year
while
trying
to
intrude
into
this
side
from
Jhangar
in
Nowshera
sector.

On
December
16,
2019,
another
brother
of
Hussain,
Mohammad
Sayeed,
was
also
apprehended
by
the
army
in
the
same
area
where
he
was
caught
this
morning.
Sayeed
was
found
to
be
under
the
heavy
influence
of
drugs
at
the
time
of
his
arrest.

He,
too,
was
subjected
to
imprisonment
and
later
repatriated,
the
officials
said.
According
to
the
officials,
Hussain
was
cultivated
by
Pakistan
Army,
likely
its
intelligence
agency
Inter-Services
Intelligence,
and
worked
for
the
intelligence
unit
for
about
two
years.
During
this
period,
he
was
trained
to
acquire
enemy
information
and
establish
cover
story
in
case
he
was
ever
apprehended.
He
had
also
undergone
six
weeks’ training
as
a
guide
at
an
LeT
training
camp
at
Bhimber
along
the
LoC.
