New Delhi, Mar 27 (UNI) A five-member joint investigating team of Pakistan set up by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for probe into the Pathankot airbase terror attack arrived here today about three months after the deadly terror attack in the Punjab town.
The team, which will visit Pathankot on Tuesday, will be allowed to the selected areas of the airbase, and examine eyewitnesses, and record statement of victims, sources here said. The team members will first get briefing here by the National Investigation Agency for two days. It is for the first time that a team of Pakistan's intelligence and Police and military officials has been allowed to visit India.
New Delhi believes that Pakistan's extremist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed carried out the January 2 Pathankot attack in which seven Indian security jawans had lost their lives. The incident had derailed the India-Pakistan Foreign Secretary level talks. The date for the visit of the team had been decided after External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met her Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz in Nepal. The team comprises of Intelligence Bureau Lahore Deputy director Azim Arshad, Lt Tanvir Ahmad of ISI, Punjab counter terrorism Department AIG Rai Tahir, Lt Col Irfan Morza of MI and Gujramwala CTD investigating officer Shahid Tanveer, sources said.
