New Delhi: Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani was Wednesday questioned here for recommending a Pakistani visa for a suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist arrested for allegedly plotting a terror attack in the capital, police said.
Police earlier found a copy of Geelani’s recommendation letter with Ahtesham Malik, one of the two alleged Lashkar terrorists arrested in Delhi.
According to police, the 24-year-old Malik was in Pakistan last summer. He went on a valid passport — which police said was a new Lashkar strategy of sending recruits from the Kashmir Valley to Pakistan, with legal papers, for “arms and explosives training”. (IANS)
