At Markaz-e-Toiba, we stood outside a big wooden gate. The guard there asked us the purpose of our visit. The guy with us showed him the chit, and we were allowed inside. There were two rooms made of fibre. A person called Abu Fahad Ullah took down our details and asked us to join some other boys. Mufti Saeed and Fahad Ullah would give us lessons in Quran and Hadees. After seven days, we wouldn’t see Muzaffar and some other boys. After 21 days, I was sent to Mansehra by bus and asked to go to the Marqaz-e-dawa-ul-Irshad. At Mansehra, my details were checked again. There were fibre rooms. I was told to go and sit with other boys and have lunch. In the evening, a van came and took 21 of us to a hilly area for training. There were exercises, and training in operating guns and pistols, Quran. This 21-day training was ‘Daura-e-aam’, after which I was told I needed to go for ‘Daura-e-khas’. Accordingly, I was detained and asked to involve myself in the day-to-day affairs of the camp. I was there for three months. We had three ustads—Abu Anas, Abu Bashir and Abu Abdur Rehman. Abdur Rehman asked me to bring my ID card from my district and procure another from Okara. I was asked to go to an address in Model Town in Okara. When I reached there and said I had come for Daura-e-khas, they took down my address and asked me to go to Qasai Nallah in Muzaffarabad. Here, I was physically checked at a chowki. I showed them the chit given to me and was directed to “Saeed bhai ke daftar”. There were two rooms, an office in one. Repeating that I had come for Daura-e-khas, I was given a form, which I filled in Urdu. I was asked to go to another room where other boys were waiting. Next morning, we were taken to the hills. After walking through the mountains for three hours, we reached a training camp where Maksad Aqsa and Abu Maviya were our ustads. Maviya trained us for three months in wielding rocket-launchers, grenades, AK-47s, pistols, mortars, etc.
