FBI begins assessment into Mumbai terror attacks

Mumbai, Dec 1 (PTI) The seven-member team of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has started its assessment of
the Mumbai terror attacks.

The team arrived in the city Sunday and was in a
day-long meeting with the Director General of Police (DGP),
Mumbai Commissioner of Police and senior officials from the
Crime Branch.

The team is in the process of examining evidence and
remnants of explosives gathered from the targeted places and
the methodology used by the militants, official sources said.

FBI would be investigating the case from their side as
six American nationals were killed in the attacks.

It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has also
registered a case in the matter as they had done in the
hijacking of Indian airlines' IC-814 plane in 1999 which
carried a US national - Jennir Moorie.
