Terrorists killed in Delhi shopping mall identified

The two terrorists who were killed in Ansal Plaza shopping mall in Delhi have been identified as Pakistani nationals Daoud Ali Ahmed and Izaz Ahmed, Delhi Police Commissioner R S Gupta said on Monday night.

They belonged to the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, which is backed by the Inter-Services Intelligence, he said.

Sent by the Lashkar's "launching commander" Anzam Cheema to spearhead terrorist operations in India -- mainly in Mumbai and Delhi -- the duo had chosen to strike during an important Hindu festival to spread communal tension, he told Aaj Tak news channel.

Gupta said the identities were established from the three dairies and a mobile phone recovered from their bodies in the parking lot of Ansal Plaza.

While Daoud Ahmed was a native of Bhumba Kalan village, Izaz Ahmed was a resident of Gujaranwala. Cheema is from Bhawalpur in Punjab province, he said.
