Lashkar e taiba making recruits learn from kasab’s mistake

Srinagar/New Delhi: A special ‘Kasab class’ is part of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)’s training module for its new recruits in which they are told about the mistakes committed by Ajmal Kasab during the deadly Mumbai terror attack. This emerged during interrogation of LeT terrorist Mohd Naveed Jutt alias Abu Hanzala, a resident of Multan in Pakistan, who was arrested by police in the third week of last month in South Kashmir, according to official sources.

Accused of killing many policemen in South Kashmir, Jutt is reported to have said that he was part of Borevalla Sahiwala camp of LeT in Multan district of Punjab where he had met Kasab, whose father was a butcher at the same madrassa (religious school).

He recalled Kasab as having been reserved during his brief interaction, which came months before the Mumbai attack.

Jutt is reported to have told his interrogators that the LeT bosses gave a video presentation to the new recruits in which there is graphic description of his mistakes during “Daura-e-Sufa” (training cadre for religious indoctrination) at Maksar Aksar Camp in 2009, the sources said.

Among the mistakes which were pointed out by LeT in its presentation was the inability of Kasab and his team to destroy the boat that carried them to the Mumbai coast, speaking on satellite phones with real identities, inability to take any hostages and getting arrested, the sources said.
