Investigators probing the terror attack on a mosque that killed 40 people, including a major general, in Pakistan's garrison city of Rawalpindi, have zeroed in on a car used by the assailants to trace the masterminds of the assault.
The army has released pictures of the grey Toyota Corolla that was used by militants who yesterday stormed the mosque frequented by serving and retired military personnel.
The army asked persons having information about the vehicle to contact it on a specified phone number. The car was found parked some distance from the mosque targeted by the terrorists. The registration number of the car actually belonged to a vehicle in Islamabad, officials said.
Seven grenades, two national identity cards and several handwritten and typed documents were found in the car, media reports said. Investigators are using these materials to trace the masterminds of the attack, officials said.
The probe is being conducted jointly by police in Rawalpindi and other security and intelligence agencies, including the Inter-Services Intelligence agency. Police also registered an FIR at RA Bazar police station against "unknown terrorists".
