Captured terrorist not our citizen: Pakistan

Pakistani news website Dunya News reported's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) officials as saying that Usman Khan is not a Pakistani citizen according to their records. The officials also claimed that images of the man arrested by India do not match any Pakistani citizen.

NADRA was tasked with ensuring civil registration of all Pakistanis in March 2000 to issue secure Computerized National Identity Cards (CNIC).

Indian security forces captured the terrorist, who with an accomplice had attacked a BSF convoy in Jammu's Udhampur on Wednesday, killing two constables. 

While one of the terrorists was also shot dead in exchange of fire, the other one, later identified as Naved alias Usman, was captured by local villagers hours after.

Navel later reportedly told interrogators that he is from Pakistan's Faisalabad and that he belongs to Lashker-e-Toiba, a Pakistan-based terror outfit.

Media reports qauoted intelligence sources as saying that Naved had infiltrated into India along with at least four other LeT terrorists.

 

After entering India, the group split into two. While three terrorists attacked Dinanagar in Gurdaspur district of Punjab, the other two including Usman were waiting to strike at another location.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh also told Parliament on Thursday that Naved and his accomplice Nomen had come from Pakistan.
