New evidence has emerged that a Dhaka based terror cell coordinated and executed the Dec 2005 IISc terrorist attack while the direction came from Pakistan and the funding from West Asia. Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) say that they intercepted conversation between Dhaka-based Naved Gul, a man wanted for the 2003 Ahmedabad & Hyderabad bombing, and his handlers in Pakistan. Cracking their code, RAW officials say that their plan was to trigger many terrorist attacks before the South Asian Regional Co-operation (SAARC) meeting in Islamabad. Gul was one of 14 Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) recruits who went to Pakistan for training via Bangkok or Bangladesh. Questioning Mujeeb Ahmad, a self-proclaimed LeT chief of operations in South India, is said to have recruited Gul. Ahmad was arrested and convicted for killing a senior police office as reprisal for 1990 communal violence in Andhra Pradesh (AP). In a controversial decision, the AP Chief Minister Y.S. Rajashekara Reddy granted him clemency in 2004 and allowing him to reactivate his links with LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (Hizb). He was rearrested last year and since then police have arrested several of Ahmad's recruits including Abdul Rehman who was is suspected to have planned and executed the IISc terrorist attacks. It is speculated that Gul used a Pakistani militant based in Kashmir (from LeT or Hizb) to be the gunman at the IISc incident making it the first such instance where hardcore terrorists are imported to the South for terrorism.
