NEW DELHI: Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against Shahid Latif, Pakistan-based handler of Jaish- e-Mohammed terrorists who had attacked Pathankot Air Force base on the intervening night of January 1-2.
CBI which is the nodal body for Interpol affairs in India has also forwarded the request for issuing RCN against Kashif Jaan, another handler, also, the sources said, adding an Interpol Red Corner notice was expected to be issued against him soon.
The requests were made by National Investigation Agency which is probing the Pathankot attack case.
Kashif Jaan and Shahid Latif are alleged to be the handlers of the JeM terrorists who had infiltrated India on the intervening night of December 30-31 and attacked the airforce later.
The warrants were issued on the basis of evidence presented by the NIA before a Special court in Chandigarh which included telephonic conversation between the terrorists and the Jaish handlers like Jaan and Latif. (AGENCIES)
