India involved in attack against Sri Lankan cricket team, report claims
- The rocket-launchers and explosives used in the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team are used by Indian security forces.
According to the report, four rocket-launchers and nine explosives seized from the scene of the deadly attack in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore earlier this month are factory-made and used by Indian forces.
Forty grenades, 10 sub-machine guns (SMGs), five pistols, 577 live rounds of SMGs and 160 bullets of pistols were also found at the scene.
A dozen attackers fired 312 bullets, two rockets and detonated two bombs near Lahore's Liberty roundabout on 3 March as the Sri Lankan team was on its way to a match.
The attack killed six policemen and a Pakistan Cricket Board van driver and injured six of the Sri Lankan players.
"No suicide jacket was found at the scene, suggesting that they were not on a suicide mission. The SMGs used in the attack are of indian and Russian origin.
The attack seriously damaged Pakistan’s reputation as a host for any future international sporting event, including the 2011 Cricket World Cup. In early March, Bangladesh's cricket team announced it was postponing Pakistan's seven-match tour of the country scheduled for mid-March.
He said that law-enforcement agencies had taken over 100 suspects into custody.
Investigators are now convinced that the mastermind of the attack had four objectives: to sour Pakistan’s relations with Sri Lanka; to stop foreign teams from coming to Pakistan; to destabilise Pakistan and to let the country know that India's spy agency is more capable than Pakistan's intelligence services in carrying out such attacks even in the midst of a huge security presence.
Investigators however clarify that the attackers did not want to hijack the cricketers’ bus.
The attack happened in Pakistani soil ..and all the attackers managed to escape from the site shows something fishy about the incident ..may be it is other way round.
