Arrested Pakistani militant was trying to join flying clubs in India

New Delhi: Karachi-based Mohammed Fahad, one of two Pakistani militants arrested in Mysore last week, was trying to join some flying clubs in India to learn aircraft flying, official sources said here today.
Fahad, who had come to India on a regular 45-day visa on the pretext of meeting his Malayali grandparents, was also enquiring about the procedure to join a flying club and about the time taken to learn flying, the sources said.
The parents of Fahad, who was trained by Pakistan-based al-Badr militant outfit, had migrated to Karachi in 1971. After joining the militant ranks, he was used by Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI for its operations of targeting important installations in Indian hinterland, especially in the southern part of the country, they said.
Fahad, having a fair knowledge of Malayalam, had got his visa stamped for Karanatka and Kolkata after arriving at the Mumbai international airport in February this year.
