Police yet to establish identity of LeT militants

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI DEC. 16. Investigations into the encounter in which two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants were killed near Tughlakabad Fort here on Saturday by the Special Cell of the Delhi police have indicated that the terrorists might have left the Capital a few days before the incident. One of the terrorists managed to escape.

According to police sources, the telephone bill, which was recovered from their possession, indicated that the calls were made to Gujranwala in Pakistan from a PCO located somewhere in the Walled City of Delhi. The police have identified the PCO.

The call, made on December 11, lasted about three minutes and is believed to have been made by one of the terrorists to his family.

On the basis of the calls made, the police are now suspecting that the three were in the Capital for a few days and shifted to Faridabad. The police have not ruled out the possibility of them flitting in and out of the Capital in a bid to give shape to the conspiracy.
