The lone terrorist captured after the attack on BSF convoy in Udhampur had made an attempt to enter the Kashmir Valley a month ago but retreated as he could not make any headway.
Official sources here identified him as Mohammed Naved from Faisalabad in Pakistan, who had entered Kupwara in North Kashmir last month in the comnpany of four other terrorists but had to return as their guide did not turn up to receive them.
A resident of Ghulam Mustafabad (Faisalabad) in Pakistan, Naved, believed to be in early 20s, has two brothers and one sister. One of them is a lecturer while the other runs a hosiery business.
During questioning at a joint interrogation centre in Jammu region, he said he had initially made an attempt to enter the Kashmir Valley a month ago but had to return as their guide had not turned up to receive them, official sources said.
Naved identified the fellow terrorist killed today in the retaliatory fire by BSF as Noman alias Momin, who hailed from Bhawalpur in Pakistan.
The duo carried out an attack on a BSF convoy at Simroli near Udhampur killing two constables. In the gun fight, Noman was killed while he managed to escape before being nabbed by the Village Defence Committee members, they said.
