Imran acted at LeT's behest

New Delhi Jan. 12. The main accused in the Ghatkopar bomb blast, Imran Rehman Khan, has disclosed that he had been summoned by the Lashkar-e-Taiba's front organisation in Saudi Arabia to formulate a plan ``to take revenge for the Gujarat killings.''

Imran, whose deportation was another feather in the cap of the Central intelligence agencies, had said during his interrogation that LeT cadres in Saudi Arabia had given him cassettes besides exhorting him to take revenge for the killing of Muslims in the Gujarat riots.

Besides highlighting the presence of the second LeT unit outside Pakistan, his arrest also brought to light the fact that the ISI was still bent on carrying out subversive activities in Gujarat to spark a communal clash.
