"If the December 2001 terrorist attack on Parliament was a success then they would have made Jammu and Kashmir an international issue and would have entered into negotiations with the government" Guru -- the key accused in 2001 Parliament terror attack case -- is said to have told Manoj Diwvedi, Superintendent of Tihar Jail number 3.
Divided into six chapters, this document, starts with the attack itself and the first first chapter tells the nitty- gritty of all that happened on December 13.
It ends when Guru, on death row, is finally held by the police, Diwedi said.
"They were very confident that the car fitted with improvised explosive device would go off. Guru told me that they had parked the car fitted with bombs and explosives in front of a police the previous night of the attack fearing that it might be stolen. Surprisingly no policeman bothered to check it."
"Sadly, the car bomb used in the December 13, 2001 attack, did not explode and till date Afzal Guru is clueless as to why it did not explode.
"If the attack would have been a success they had also names of people in their minds who they would want to negotiate with," says Diwvedi, who has been refused permission by the Tihar authorities to publish the book.
"This document is compiled after 200 hours conversation between me and Afzal Guru between March 2009 to December 2010," he said.
In one of the chapter, Diwvedi talks about Afzal's childhood and how he reached Pakistan.
"In my book I have mentioned all the reasons stated by Afzal for shifting to Pakistan and undergoing training as other terrorist did.
"He came back and realised that he was being used and decided to give up and lead a normal life.
"He had completed his first year in MBBS. He even tried for IES exam," says Diwvedi.
The book also gives the reasons why Guru, whose Brahmin family converted to Islam generations ago, returned to anti-national fold.
"One chapter is dedicated to Afzal Guru and how he carried out the planning for the attack. How they got the explosives and the RDX grenade the Chinese pistol and other things without being caught. How they arranged for their stay in Delhi, the recce done of the Parliament by people who were not Indian and did not understand any of the Indian language," Diwvedi said.
