SIT retrieves e-mails sent to LeT operative

Special Correspondent

An e-mail asked Shah to go to Ahmedabad to receive arms

GULBARGA: Forty-five e-mails, mostly from Saudi Arabia in coded language, were retrieved on Tuesday by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) that is probing the activities of the arrested Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Shami Ahmed Shah.

Brought to cyber cafe

The SIT personnel, led by its chief and Additional Superintendent of Police Ravikumar Naik, brought Shah to a cyber café here and asked him to log in to his e-mail account and retrieved the messages.

Area cordoned off

The SIT personnel cordoned off the area and Shah took more than two hours to browse through the e-mails.

Sources said he cooperated fully with the SIT.

One of the e-mails was in reply to a message sent by Shah seeking arms to attack vital installations.

The e-mail asked Shah to go to Ahmedabad to receive arms.

The SIT personnel took prints of 25 e-mails and they would be decoded soon, the sources said.

Grenade purchase

Shah is likely to be taken to Ahmedabad in connection with the purchase of two grenades and a foreign-made pistol with live cartridges.
