The story of Mohammad Hussain Fazili, who has been charge-sheeted in the pre-Diwali blast cases, illustrates how youngsters like him are being lured by various terrorist outfits to create havoc in Jammu and Kashmir and in other parts of country including the national Capital. Fazili is one of the conspirators of the October 29 blasts in the Capital last year.
<b>Fazili has admitted before the police that he started his career as a terrorist in the year 1995 and from then on he continued to be a part of several deadly operations in Jammu & Kashmir.</b>
The statement of Mohammad Hussain Fazili before the police does raise several questions about his links with several terrorist outfits of Pakistan and the knowledge of the conspiracy, much before its occurrence. During interrogation the accused, Mohammad Hussain Fazili, disclosed that he in 1995 had joined a terrorist group, Al Jehad and attended several Jehadi lectures and weapon handling trainings in a local mosque of Srinagar.
<b>In 1997 he joined Hizbul Muzahaddin and thereafter went for training to Pakistan. He remained there till October 1998. After that he remained involved in a number of operations to attack the military, para military and police forces in which a number of his associates got killed. He, however, survived. In 2001, he alongwith Rafiq, went for training to Pakistan to carry out various terrorist activities in India. But soon after their return from Pakistan both of them got arrested. In 2003 he got released from jail and again joined Mohammad Rafiq</b>.
In the same year, the accused met one Mansoor, a resident of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, and on his invitation both of them joined Lashkar-e-Tayyeba and started working for that organisation. In his statement, however, Fazili denied having been involved in the Delhi blasts. He disclosed that when Mohammad Rafiq Shah was assigned the task of bomb explosions in Delhi, he was also asked by Rafiq to join him in the operation. But he refused to do so. He had, however, till then received all information related to the blasts.
Rafiq has been chargesheeted in the Paharganj case too as he was one of the main conspirators who had been engaged in planning the conspiracy from its beginning. Rafiq has even admitted before the police that he was given "Mansoor" as a code for this operation. Analysis of call details of mobile phones figured in the investigations revealed that Rafiq was in regular touch with Dar and other Lashkar operatives in Pakistan, which included Mohammad Hussain Fazili. On October 29 he along with other militants of Lashkar caused the serial blasts in Delhi, killing 65 innocent people and injuring around 200.
