CHAPTER 32

The Hazratbal Mosque was a magnificent building on the shores of Lake Dal in the city of Srinagar. The mosque was built entirely of white marble and was famous for a shrine housing a true hair of the prophet Mohammed. That put it high on the list of pilgrimage destinations for devout Muslims.

Abdul Afridi was under no illusions about his chances if he strayed far or long from his protected compound in Pakistan. He was marked for assassination. He couldn't risk the journey to Mecca required of the faithful. Until the day came when he could make the Hajj, Afridi had vowed to visit Hazratbal and view the relic of the Prophet once a year as an act of devotion. He'd slipped in and out of Kashmir many times without being detected.

The hair of the Prophet could only be viewed on a few special days. One was fast approaching and Afridi had decided to go, in spite of the increased attention focused on him since the attacks in the Philippines.

It was widely believed that he was responsible. The attacks staged in his name had created problems for him, but whoever was behind it had done him a favor. His status among the jihadists had skyrocketed. His reputation had never been so high. Everyone thought he was lying when he denied involvement. Recruitment was up. Donations were pouring in.

They were needed, the gold was almost gone.

Afridi thought back on the day Allah had led him to the coins.
