Hijack case: CBI seeks to question Muttawakil
New Delhi
Aug. 19.
In a new twist to the case on hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane in 1999, the CBI has sought the FBI's assistance to question the then Taliban Foreign Minister, Mullah Abdul Wakil Muttawakil, who is now in the custody of the American investigating agency.
Highly-placed CBI sources said the request had been forwarded to the FBI through proper channel and its response was encouraging.
The CBI alleged that Mr. Muttawakil, who was the point man in the negotiations on behalf of the hijackers with the Indian Government, was also involved in the conspiracy. The role of Mr. Muttawakil as a negotiator was ``shady'' as per the statements of the team members who had gone to negotiate with the hijackers, they said. — PTI
