NEW DELHI, Feb 25 (PTI): A serving Pakistani Army officer has been named in one of the three dossiers handed over by India to Pakistan ON Thursday for his suspected involvement in the Mumbai terror attack. The dossier has also named another officer, who has retired as a Major. The two officers have been referred as 'Major Iqbal' and 'Major Samir Ali,' sources said today.
The dossiers were handed over during the Indo-Pak Foreign secretary level talks.
The role of 'Major Iqbal' is believed to have emerged in the interrogation by the FBI of US terror suspect David Headley, arrested in Chicago in September last year in connection with the Mumbai attack.
India has named 8 people, including 'Major Iqbal' and Hafiz Saeed, the leader of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the suspected 26/11 mastermind. India wants Pakistan to take action against these men and then hand them over to India.
