The report also gives the details of close business associates of Dawood who were present at the wedding. The report says that officers from three units of the ISI the Special Operations Group (SOG), Joint Intelligence Bureau (JIB) and External Intelligence Wing were present at the walima. It says that Brig. Rashid Husain Shahid of the JIB, who is said to be DawoodÃÔ ÅÉandler in the ISI and whose childrenÃÔ education abroad is funded by Dawo-od, was at the wedding. The SOG was represented by Col. Ashwaq Ahmed and Maj. Sadiq Khan. Col Ahmed heads the SOGÃÔ commando unit, which is involved in several ÅÕactical operations in Baluchis-tan and NWFP? Two officers of the External Intel-ligence Wing, Col. Rehman Rashid and Lt. Rashidullah Khan, were also there, according to the report. Two officers of the Pakistan Rangers, Lt. Col.
