Maulana Gulam Yahya Allah Baksh, who has been
arrested for terrorist links, was planning to go to Pakistan for training.
Sources in Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) said that the seized documents from
Baksh revealed that he was planning to leave the country soon. He was supposed
to get two types of training. Apart from training in handling weapons, Baksh
was also supposed to get trained in planning terrorist activities.
Sources said that he was to be trained by Lashkar-eTayyeba (LeT) men
at the Indo-Bangladesh border. The training camps here are believed to have
started about two to three years back. Baksh is said to have links with Salauddin,
a LeT commander in Jammu and Kashmir. The ATS has got tapes of Baksh's conversation
with Salauddin, which were regular in the past few months.
The J&K police are also trying to take
Baksh's custody. Sources said that the J&K police have been in touch with
the Mumbai ATS. "They want to investigate Baksh's links with the LeT
and also about the funds he transferred in Kashmir," said an ATS officer.
