Parliament attack accused denies contact with terrorists

Mohammed Afzal, a Jaish-e-Mohammed militant and a key accused in the attack on Parliament on December 13, 2001, denied that he was in regular touch with the terrorists involved in the incident.

Afzal made this statement in a New Delhi court before Special Judge S N Dhingra on Wednesday. He also denied that the attackers had made the last contact with him on telephone on November 25, 2001.

Another JeM militant and co-accused in the case, Shaukat Hussain Guru, also denied making calls to Pakistan and Dubai from Afzal's satellite phone. He denied that the police had recovered the impugned instrument and its SIM card from his house.

Conceding his earlier plea, the court had allowed Shaukat Hussain to talk to his sister, who was getting married in Kashmir, on telephone.

Shaukat, his wife Navjot Sandhu alias Afsan Guru, Afzal, and suspended Delhi University lecturer S A R Geelani are standing trial in connection with the attack.
