Bangalore, Jan 14: Imran, the arrested Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, has revealed during narco-analysis that he knows the people who carried out the attack on the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in December 2005 and those who triggered the serial explosions in New Delhi earlier the same year.

The nine-hour test at Bowring Hospital on Saturday has provided the police with vital clues on LeT's targets in Karnataka, Imran's LeT connections, Pakistan visits, and the source of the satellite phone and the AK-47 and AK-56 rifles recovered from him. He will be subjected to further tests shortly for more details on the revelations.

Imran alias Bilal also revealed to the police the LeT's gameplan in Karnataka and the number of operatives in the state. According to him, LeT has deployed over 400 people in Bangalore, Mysore, Mangalore, Chikmagalur and communally sensitive areas.

LeT activists are operating under pseudo-identities in Bangalore and Mysore, the police said, adding that Imran had revealed these locations. He also spoke of LeT's plans to attack campuses of software giants Infosys, Wipro and several firms in Electronic City along with the Bangalore airport. Imran told interrogators that LeT headquarters often changed the frequency and bandwidth of satellite phones.

Imran had told the police during interrogation that a certain Rajesh had given him a consignment of arms in Pune. The arms were kept in his Hospet house. Imran was nabbed in Bangalore while bringing the consignment in a bus after a satellite phone conversation with his LeT bosses. During interrogation, Imran had said he was merely a courier, but he contradicted this during the narco-test. Further clarification will be sought during the second narco-test, a police officer said.
