Udhampur attack: NIA makes one more arrest

A co-owner of the truck, in which Pakistani terrorist Naved Yakub  allegedly travelled to Udhampur to carry out the terror strike in August this year, has been arrested by the National Investigation Agency. 

Sabjar Ahmed, who also allegedly used to provide transport facilities to infiltrating Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants in Kashmir, was nabbed from Kulgam in South Kashmir on Tuesday.

Ahmed is alleged to be the conductor and co-owner of the truck in which Naved is believed to have travelled, along with another terrorist Md Noman alias Momin, to Udhampur on August 5 where they attacked the BSF convoy, NIA sources said.

A group of four LeT terrorists Mohammad Naved Yakub, Zhargham alias Mohammed Bhai, Abu Okasa and Noman had entered India from Baba Reshi in Baramulla district. The group split into two. One attacked a BSF convoy in Udhampur on August 5, during which Naved was arrested and his associate Noman was killed.
