The National Investigation Agency has tracked terror funding trails of both Syed Ahmad Shakeel and Shahid Yousuf who were involved in raising, receiving, collecting and transferring funds through Hawala (non-banking) transactions for terror activities of the banned Hizbul Mujahideen, according to officials.
According to officials, they were providing information to terrorists about the movement of security forces, and abetting and harbouring terrorists to carry out activities in a clandestine manner.
Another government employee with terror links is Naaz Mhammad Allaie, an orderly of the health department. He is an overground worker of the Hizbul Mujahideen and has a history of direct involvement in terrorist activities, the officials said.
