Two more suspects have been nabbed in the deadly Pulwama terror attack – which killed 40 Indian troops and spiked hostilities between India and Pakistan – including a 19-year-old bomb maker who supplied chemicals from Amazon.
The two men – Waiz ul Islam, 19, and Mohd Abbas Rather, 32 – were arrested by India’s counter-terror force, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), on Friday, alleging Islam procured bomb ingredients such as ammonium nitrate from the online retail titan. The teen, whose father is a government employee, is also accused of personally bringing items to the terror cell that carried out the attack, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
Rather, for his part, is said to have harbored the militants in his home in the leadup to last year’s attack, including IED builder Mohammed Umar and the suicide bomber himself, Adil Ahmed Dar.
The two men are set to appear before the NIA Special Court in Jammu on Saturday.
