New Delhi: The Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI), an al-Qaeda-linked Pakistani militant organisation, has warned the foreign office in Islamabad of dire consequences if the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi continues to share details of the group with India.
The group will carry out fidayeen attacks on the Pakistani foreign office, foreign secretary, the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi and High Commissioner Shahid Malik, a handwritten letter addressed to Pakistani foreign secretary Salman Bashir read.
The letter was written in Urdu and was mailed to Bashir's home in Sector F-6 of Islamabad a few days ago, according to Pakistani interior ministry sources.
The police confirmed the letter was sent by HuJi and said it was mailed from within Islamabad. Bashir's residence is guarded by police commandos following the threat. The diplomat has been provided police protection and a strict vigil has been mounted around the foreign office as well.
Ilyas Kashmiri, who masterminded the 26/11 attack in Mumbai and a terrorist assault on a naval airbase on Karachi, headed HuJi. He was reportedly killed in a US drone attack last month.
