A charge-sheet submitted by Police in an anti-terrorism court says that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) assassinated former Commander of the Special Services Group, General Aamir Faisal Alvi, to avenge the role he played in the fight against militants in FATA, Dawn reported. According to the charge-sheet prepared by Islamabad’s Koral Police against Major (retd) Haroon Ashiq, a resident of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Mohammad Nawaz Khan of Peshawar, and Ashfaq Ahmed of Okara in Punjab, the murder was ordered by Ilyas Kashmiri who provided funds and weapons. During interrogation in a kidnapping for ransom case, the accused told Police they had been ordered to kill Alvi, who had spearheaded a commando operation against militants at Angor Adda in South Waziristan in 2004 when a large number of Arabs, Uzbeks, Chechens, Afghans and local Taliban militants were killed. The three were arrested by the industrial area police for trying to kidnap a businessman. Police said the alleged killers, who belonged to the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba, followed Alvi when he left his residence in Bharia Town on the day of the attack for his private office in Islamabad and killed him and his driver near PWD Colony. Police said the accused were given money and weapons for the attack by Ilyas Kashmiri and Irfan, another man working for the militants.
