A "suicide bomber" from Pakistan was caught on Thursday after troopers of the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) found him doing a reconnaissance around the Attari international border in the frontier district of Punjab.
The youth, identified as Noman Arshad of Singhpura, near Lahore in Pakistan expressed during the initial interrogation by security agencies that he had come to the border for a recce, officials said on Wednesday.
He also revealed other six to seven trained suicide bombers, including three women, were ready to enter India from the Punjab border to carry out attacks here.
"The Pakistani youth was arrested by the BSF as he was carrying out a recce of the border belt. Further investigations are in progress," BSF Punjab Frontier Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Jagir Singh said.
Arshad aged around 19 with some education was apparently trained in the use of weapons and explosives at the Okara training camp in Pakistan, where the lone surviving terrorist of 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Ajmal Amir Kasab was trained.
"We used to be blindfolded and taken to a training camp by the authorities in Pakistan. I and others have received training in weapons," Arshad told media persons.
According to BSF sources, the youth had also revealed about a group of 'fidayeen' (suicide attackers) who were trying to infiltrate the fenced Indian border in Punjab
"During initial interrogation, he has told us that there are six to seven more trained suicide bombers waiting to infiltrate into India. Our border guards spotted some movement near the barbed wire fence and nabbed this youth. He says he is trained in handling weapons and explosives," a BSF official at the border told reporters.
Arshad was apprehended inside Indian territory by troopers of the BSF's 55th battalion.
BSF has kept vigilance especially during night along the 553-km barbed wire fenced border with Pakistan in Punjab following certain incidents in the last one week.
The Pakistani youth was arrested in less than a week after the incident of rocket attacks into India from across the Punjab border for the third time in recent months.
