DERA GHAZI KHAN, April 08 : Umer, the injured suicide bomber, who was caught alive from inside the Sakhi Sarwar Shrine in Dera Ghazi Khan a few days ago, has claimed that up to 350 suicide bombers are being trained in tehsil Mirali of North Waziristan Agency (NWA).

“Me and Usman were brought to launch attack on the Sakhi Sarwar Shrine,” the Fidai admitted and said that around 10 suicide bombers had been sent to the settled districts of Pakistan on 27th March, among whom four of us were brought to Dera Ismail Khan in the first shift of transferring suicide bombers.

Talking to private TV channel the detained injured suicide bomber identified as Umar Fidai, student of ninth class and hailing form Essakhel town of Mirali said Arabs, Uzbeks, Punjabis and Tajiks are amongst militants in the area.

I was student of Essakhel Noor Public School where one day in the front of our school Taliban Ameer Qari Zafar asked me to join Taliban in the war against infidels, Umar added. He said that for six months he was given the suicide training and then sent for suicide attack.

Umar said that he had two sisters and mother in the Essakhel town of Mirali while his uncle was a dumper driver, adding that his other uncle was serving in the armed forces of Pakistan.

Fidai said his mission was to attack the shrine half an hour after the first wave of attacks so that people gathered at the site could be targeted. He claimed a man known as Sangeen Khan travels from Waziristan to Afghanistan and picks out targets for the bombers. He also claimed that a man known as Naeem alias Zairali indoctrinates the bombers.

The Fidai confirmed that he and Usman, who blew himself up during attack on the Sakhi Sarwar Shrine, were sent to target those who were praying and begging for demands from the dead and buried people. The Fidai added that Qari Zafar had allured him for the suicide attack on shrine and greeted us that you will won Heaven by targeting people praying before the tombs.

I had pressed the pin of the suicide vest on exact time of the blast but my vest failed to explode when people were busy in shifting injured from the spot after which he was targeted by police personnel in his arm, the suicide bomber confessed.

He regretted and sought apology from the people who were targeted in the attack, saying that they were Muslim while our trainer informed us that you were going to attack the infidels in the shrine.

“I asked the entire under-training suicide bombers to left the training as they were getting the training of committing suicide rather than training of Fidaiee,” the detained suicide attacker informed.

The injured suicide attacker was sent to jail on judicial remand from the hospital where he had received initial treatment.
