New Delhi: As Pakistan today denied that captured terrorist Mohammad Naved is its citizen, a Pakistan-based man identified himself as the “unfortunate father” of the attacker, reported a leading English daily on Thursday.
Speaking to the daily, the man expressed fear for the safety of his family in the Islamic nation.
“I'll be killed. The Lashkar is after us and the fauj is after us,” Naved's father Mohammad Yakub told to Hindustan Times, in reference of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba and Pakistani Army.
Naved had provided his father's phone number to inevestigative agencies during interrogation.
Speaking in native Punjabi language, Yakub said, “You are calling from India. We'll be killed. I am the unfortunate father.”
“The Lashkar is after us. They probably wanted him dead and not caught alive. Please spare him,” Yakub requested the journalist.
