ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's National Security Adviser Dr. Moeed Yusuf said on Sunday the mastermind of last month's deadly bomb attack in Lahore was an Indian intelligence operative.

Three people were killed and 24 injured when an explosive-laden car blew up in Lahore's Johar Town area on June 23.  

During a press conference in Islamabad, Yusuf told reporters there were no doubts regarding the suspect's links to India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

"We have identified the main mastermind and the handlers of this terrorist attack, and we have absolutely no doubt or reservation in informing you that main mastermind belongs to RAW, the Indian intelligence agency, is an Indian national and based in India," he said.

While he did not name the alleged mastermind, Yusuf said the main executer of the attack had been identified as Eid Gul, an Afghan living in Pakistan as a refugee. He added the government had the identities, whereabouts and bank account details of all the suspects.

Yusuf vowed to share all evidence with the international community as he called on it to "stop turning a blind eye" to India's activity if it is really serious about peace and stability in the region.

India's foreign ministry has not responded to Yusuf's allegations.

Archrivals India and Pakistan regularly accuse each other of false flag operations and clandestine attacks on each other's territory.

The Lahore attack took place next to the residence of anti-India militant Hafiz Saeed blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

Last year, Pakistan sentenced Saeed to 15 years in prison in a terror financing case, but he was never charged in connection with the Mumbai attacks. He has been serving his term at home under a government order. The Johar Town explosion left him unharmed.
