The alleged mastermind of the February 13 German Bakery attack, Himayat Baig, was trained to assemble explosives in Colombo by two of the co-accused in the case when they visited the Sri Lankan capital in March 2008, the Maharashtra ATS has contended in the chargesheet submitted to the judicial magistrate here.
A copy of the 2500-page chargesheet, which was filed by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in the court of judicial magistrate S Bose on Saturday, was handed over to Baig who was produced in the court today.
According to certain details of the document shared by defence counsel A Rahman with the press, Baig is charged with designing the German Bakery terror attack in Colombo along with Faiyaz Kagzi and Sayyad Ansari, two of the six co-accused named in the case who are absconding.
Baig, who ran a cyber cafe in Udgir, later finalised the plan to attack the eatery in the last week of January 2010 and went to Mumbai along with two other accused – Mohasin Choudhary and Bhatkal – to purchase a sack to keep the bomb and a Nokia mobile, the prosecution has alleged as quoted by Rahman. – (Agencies)
