Let us not forget, however, that al-Qaida&#8217;s terror ecosystem established its strategic depth beyond Afghanistan through its affiliates,\u201d Harish said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cThe leaders of al-Qaida who conceived and directed these 9\/11 attacks did not escape justice in the wilderness of some ungoverned frontier.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The Indian envoy also listed out the names of terrorists found in Pakistan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Bin Laden, who ordered and financed the 9\/11 plot, was \u201ctracked down and killed in a fortified compound within a settled, guarded community under Operation Neptune Spear\u201d, he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Mohammed, \u201cthe principal architect of the operation, was found sheltering in an ordinary residential house. Ramzi Binalshibh, who coordinated the hijacker cell after being denied a visa to join them, was sheltering in an urban centre,\u201d Harish said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Senior al-Qaida operative Walid bin Attash, who helped select and prepare several hijackers, was captured separately, while Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, a key financial and logistical facilitator of the 9\/11 operation, was also captured in Pakistan, he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>&#8220;In each case, these were not fugitives hiding in caves or badlands, they were men who had long evaded detection. <!-- -->Draining this swamp that provided an enabling environment for such monsters of humankind to prosper is important,&#8221; Harish said, in a thinly veiled reference to Pakistan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Harish also drew attention to what he described as an axis involving Pakistan, al-Qaida and terrorists targeting India.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>&#8220;The same permissive environment that sheltered the architects of 9\/11 has, in the years since, continued to provide space, support, and impunity to affiliates of al Qaida such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed and their like,&#8221;
