- Leads on the modus operandi accessed from the laptop used by the suicide squad (all Pakistanis, identified as Mohammed, Rana, Haider, Hamza and Raja). Digital information (including e-mail messages), exchanged between the terrorists, and the JeM commanders, the ISI and LeT operatives across the border and in the Valley, too revealed their plans.
- It also brought to light the fact that the terrorists received over Rs 20 lakh through hawala, half of which was used to execute the plan. An unexpended amount of Rs 10 lakh, along with the laptop, were recovered from Afzal and Shaukat after their arrests.
- The laptop was used to manufacture fake home ministry parking labels and identity cards. Twenty-one pictures of Parliament clicked from various angles were downloaded from TV.
- The five cellphones and six SIM cards, recovered from the car used by the terrorists, established their overseas links. The calls prove the terrorists frequently called Karachi, Dubai and Germany.
- Afzal's statement during his interrogation that Mohammed and 'Burger' of the IC-814 hijack are one and the same is one of the most vital clues which links the militants to JeM. If proved, it will establish the outfit's role conclusively. This link is being probed by the CBI. The Central Forensic Science Laboratory is conducting tests on Mohammed's corpse and tallying it with Burger's picture.
- Military intelligence has wireless intercepts of messages sent from across the border, immediately after the attack, by JeM commanders, the ISI and LeT operatives to JeM operatives in the Valley. It directs militant outfits to refrain from taking responsibility.
- Investigations show that the weapons used by the terrorists were supplied by the Pakistani army. Electric detonators recovered from slain terrorists had markings of Wah Nobel—a joint venture company of Saab Bofors, Sweden, and Pakistan ordnance factories based in Wah cantonment.
