CONFESSION: The 26/11 follow-up that didn’t happen
After the Mumbai attacks, Abdur Rehman asked me to survey Chabad House
and Raksha Bhawan in New Delhi. I was also told to survey a house in
Goa, where Israeli soldiers often came for a holiday, and the Osho
temple in Pune.
Accordingly, I took the list of Chabad houses in India. I reached New
Delhi in March 2009 and recced Chabad houses in New Delhi, Puskhar, Goa
and Pune.
While I was roaming around Pushkar, I saw a Hindu funeral and
videographed it. From Pushkar I went to Jaipur by road and then took a
flight to Goa. From the airport I went to Anjuna beach and looked around
for Chabad House. It did not look impressive but I still made videos.
From there I checked out the Israeli house in Armabole, which Abdur
Rehman had mentioned as an old purple building. I did not find anybody
in the building and it was locked. I made a detailed video of the
Israeli house and people there said very few Israelis visited the place.
I took a bus from Goa to Pune where I stayed in hotel Surya Villa, which
is 500 metres from Chabad House.
I told Rehman the best time to attack Pushkar is in the winter because
of the large number of tourists at that time. I suggested we could hide
the weapons in the surrounding mountain. I said there was nothing in
Goa. There was no need to attack this place.
