Member of LeT suicidal squad, Hussain exposed PAKs direct role in terrorism
During questioning Hussain, who was a member of Lashkar-e-Toiba's (LeT) suicide squad had on camera exposed the role of the Pakistani Army in supporting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
He disclosed that he was part of a group of five terrorists who tried to sneak into this side of the border to execute a fidayeen (suicidal) attack on security forces.
He revealed the name of Pakistani Army's Colonel Choudhary Yunus who gave money to attack Indian posts.
The terrorist revealed that their group was asked to attack the Indian Army but the alert troops and others intercepted them and returned to PoJK while he was captured in injured condition.
He was later shifted to a military hospital in Rajouri where he underwent surgery during which the soldiers donated three units of blood to save his life. However, he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on September 3.
Incidentally, the Pakistani terrorist was earlier captured by the Indian Army from the same sector in 2016 along with his brother Haroon Ali and was repatriated on humanitarian grounds in November 2017.
