According to Crime Branch sources, Rehman has admitted that he is linked to various terror outfits, including the Al-Qaeda and gave shelter to an accused in the Kandahar hijack in Cuttack. The sources said police are trying to obtain information on the exact location where he hid the hijack accused.
