One more source Unit leader was captain Muhammad Umair Kharoti of Pakistan Army. He mobilized the SSG commandos. The SSG commandos were rushed to Mecca from Pakistan on Saudi Governments request. In the middle of the day, Saudi troops abseiled from helicopters directly into the central courtyard of the mosque. The Saudi soldiers were picked off by insurgents holding superior positions. After failure of this exercise, Pakistani SSG Commandos split/showered water all over the Grand Masjid floors even in minarets. This situation was very surprising for the insurgents who did not know what was going to happen next. On having water all over the floors of the Grand Masjid, Pak Army Commandos released electric current in the water and insurgents suspended their activities and start changing their positions to save themselves from the electric shocks. During this Pak Army Commandos were dropped by helicopters into the Grand Masjid in different locations and they easily captured many of the insurgents alive.
