CNN IBN unearthed the interrogation report of Fateh Hazrat Abdul Razzaq Ali, a serving Captain in the Pakistani Army, who was interrogated by the Afghanistan anti-terrorism department officials. The report revealed that two Herat based ISI officers had planned the attack on the guest houses in Kabul. Herat is considered to be one of the masterminds of the attack and was arrested in Afghanistan on March 30th.

Further it was learnt that fourteen Pakistani army officials were sent to assist the Jaish-e-Mohammad gunmen.

Hazrat Bilal, Hazrat Abdul Gafar Ali and Sardar Mohammed were three other officers named by Ali. They had arrived in Afghanistan through Kandahar and Helmand province to carry out the operation.

The Taliban terrorists were targeting Indians. Two officers of the Indian Army were killed apart from five other Army officers who were injured in the attack.

During the attack, a suicide bomber exploded a car bomb across the street some 60 meters away from the guest house, after which one of the suicide bombers went inside the guest house and started killing people.
