US envoy meets Chidambaram
New Delhi, Jan 3 (PTI) US Ambassador David C Mulford
Saturday met Union Home Minister P Chidambaram here in the
backdrop of Washington's offer to collaborate with New Delhi
following the Mumbai terror attacks.
The 40-minute meeting at North Block came amid reports of
India compiling evidence about the role of Pakistan-based
elements in the terror strikes for sharing it with the world
even as Islamabad continues to be in denial mode.
The evidence, being put together, includes the confession
of the lone terrorist held in Mumbai terror attack Ajmal Amir
Kasab, logbook recovered from the vessel in which the 10
terrorists came from Karachi, records of satellite phone used
by the attackers and transcript of conversations between the
attackers and their handlers in Pakistan, sources said.
The dossier will also include the corroborative evidence
tracking the journey of the attackers from Karachi to Mumbai,
they said.
Officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation have
already questioned Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone
surviving Lashkar-e-Taiba militant involved in the November 26
strikes, to ascertain his role and those of his handlers in
Pakistan.
The US, which witnessed the deadly 9/11 attacks seven
years ago, is working through a package for India on dealing
with the situation arising out of the "horrific" Mumbai
strikes by way of information sharing, collaboration and
cooperation.
The evidence will mostly include Kasab's confession to
the police wherein he has given details of how he became a
motivated terrorist of Lashkar-e-Taiba from a normal youth of
Faridkot in Pakistan's Punjab province.
Investigators have found evidence to show that the
terrorists, who struck at the Taj Hotel, Trident Hotel and
Nariman House on November 26, were in touch with their
handlers in Karachi even while their three-day engagement with
security forces was on.
As the armed engagement was being telecast live by Indian
TV channels, the LeT commanders in Pakistan were found giving
directions to the attackers like 'set ablaze the hotel' and
'throw grenades' on the crowds outside the hotels and Nariman
House.
The evidence will be shared with Pakistan along with the
US, UK, China and other countries which have influence on
Islamabad. PTI
