Proof of RAW terror acts given to India: Pak paper

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan says it has handed over to India evidence of the
involvement of its external spy agency Research and Analysis Wing
(RAW) in
terrorist activities in this country, including the attack on the Sri
Lankan cricket team in Lahore and on a police academy on the outskirts
of the city earlier this year.

Quoting sources, Dawn said on Wednesday a dossier containing proof of
India's involvement in "subversive activities" in Pakistan was handed
over by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to his Indian counterpart
Manmohan Singh during their meeting at Sharm el-Sheikh last week.

The evidence has also been shared with the US and Afghanistan, with
Kabul being asked to prevent the use of its territory for disruptive
activities against Pakistan.

"Although the information given to India is being kept highly secret,
broad outlines of the dossier available with Dawn reveal details of
Indian contacts with those involved in attacks on the Sri Lankan
cricket team and the Manawan police station," the newspaper said.

"Operatives of RAW who remained in touch with the perpetrators of the
attacks have been identified and proof of their interaction have been
attached," it added.

A description of Indian arms and explosives used in the attack on the
Sri Lankan team has been made part of the dossier, besides which the
names and particulars of the perpetrators, who illegally entered
Pakistan from India and joined their accomplices who had reached
Lahore from Waziristan, have been mentioned, the report said.

The dossier is also said to list the safe houses being run by RAW in
Afghanistan where terrorists are trained and launched for missions in
Pakistan.

"The dossier also broadly covers the Indian connection in terror
financing in Pakistan.

A substantial part of the shared material deals with the Balochistan
insurgency and Indian linkages with the insurgents, particularly
Bramdagh Bugti, Burhan and Sher Khan," Dawn said.

Photographs of their meetings with Indian operatives are part of the
evidence, which also describes Bugti's visit to India and the meetings
he had with Indian secret service personnel, it added.

The dossier also mentions an India-funded training camp in Kandahar
where Baloch insurgents, particularly those from Bugti clan, were
being trained and provided arms and ammunition for sabotage activities
in the Pakistani province.

Dawn quoted its sources as saying that Manmohan Singh had agreed to
"look into Pakistani claims" and to take "corrective action" if
proven. He is said to have assured Mr Gilani that India is against
interference in other countries and Pakistan's stability was important
for them.

"Yes, these issues were discussed," Foreign Office spokesperson Abdul
Basit said when asked about the meeting.
