The arrested Lashkar-e-Tayiba operative Thadiyantavida Naseer has revealed to the investigating officers that the terror outfit has made Hyderabad as its headquarters for all its operations in India and the LeT bosses in Karachi were directly monitoring the base.

He has also made a shocking revelation that it was People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani who had sent him for training in bomb making under another LeT operative.

The Lashkar operative was grilled by the Kerala police team at Police Club in Kannur.

Naseer, who is reportedly South India's commander for the terror outfit, has also revealed the working of sleeper cells in India.

Naseer has revealed to the police officers that the LeT has set up 10 sleeper cells across the country. Every time the Indian intelligence agencies eliminate an LeT group in India, one of the sleeper cells will be activated, Naseer told the officers.

Naseer, according to sources in the state police, has told his interrogating officers that another LeT operative Sainudden alias Sathar Bhai had taught him to make bombs. Naseer is said to be an expert in making and supplying bombs.

The Kerala police team told rediff.com that Naseer would be of great help in getting to know more about the LeT operations.
