According to them, Waheed Ali alias Arshad, categorised as “Terrorist A”, was arrested in Nowshera last week.
“He
had made arrangements to flee to Afghanistan and hired a taxi to take
him to the Pak-Afghan border at Torkham. Had there been any further
delay, the man would have slipped away,” the sources said.
“He
had shaved his beard and had packed up. His taxi was intercepted and he
was picked up after positive identification,” said the sources,
requesting they not be identified.
In his initial statement,
according to the sources, the alleged facilitator who is in his early
30s said the planning of the attack on the university had been in works
for six months in Achin district of Afghanistan, the base of the militant commander Khalifa Omar Mansoor alias Omar Naray.
He
said he had surreptitiously made videos of the Punjab Regiment Centre
and a police station in Mardan as possible targets and taken the
footages in a memory chip to Omar Naray, but the plans had been dropped
because of heavy security in the two places.
