Even as the investigation into the Mumbai attacks continue, India has prepared a comprehensive dossier that details the evidence it has about Pakistan’s involvement in the attacks. The document has been handed over to Pakistan.
Following are some of its contents:
A detailed account of the identities and origins of the 10 men who were involved in the attack. Also, the manner- blow by blow- in which the group infiltrated into India through the Arabian Sea.
Investigation focuses on interrogation of the sole surviving terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab and communication data from the cell-phone of Ismail Khan, the alleged leader of the group.
The document says a group of 32 men were initially trained for the grueling operation out of which ultimately 10 were chosen. Six others were dispatched to Kashmir and the whereabouts of the remaining trainees are unknown. The terrorists were trained at Lashkar-e-Taiba camps in
Muridke, Manshera and Muzaffarabad (in Pakistan-occupied
Kashmir).
India has given Pakistan a list of "handlers" who are based in that country and were in touch with the terrorists during the attacks in Mumbai in November last year. The names or aliases, like Wasi Zarar, Jundal and 'Buzurg' and Kafa, were specified in the dossier that India gave to Pakistan.
The dossier also reveals an astonishing level of communication between the attackers and their handlers. A sample: ‘Inflict the maximum damage. Keep fighting. Don’t be taken alive,’; ‘If the hostages are killed, it will spoil relations between India and Israel,’.
The last telephone transcript in the dossier was at 10:26 p.m. on Nov. 27, between a gunman inside Nariman House and his interlocutor. “Brother you have to fight,” the caller said. “This is a matter of the prestige of Islam.”
It contains photographs of materials recovered from the fishing trawler which the gunmen used to infiltrate Indian waters. The materials included such items as bottles of Mountain Dew soda packaged in Karachi, pistols bearing the markings of a gun manufacturer in Peshawar, Pakistani-made items like a matchbox, detergent powder and shaving cream.
India has also recovered a GPS navigator with return route to Pakistan, satellite phone and also some SIM cards
