Interrogation of the conspirators, most of them LeT personnel, also revealed their involvement in other subversive activities such as the killing of 20 security personnel and seven civilians besides a number of explosions.

Most of them belonged to Surankote part of Poonch district of Jammu region. The main plan was hatched by Master Kabir, seniormost LeT functionary in Jammu province. He was responsible for transporting two Pakistani terrorists who committed the carnage.
