'Elements in India helped carrying out Mumbai attacks'

Islamabad, Feb 10 (PTI) Giving a new twist to probe
into Mumbai attacks, Pakistan is now alleging that there were
"elements in India" who helped in carrying out the strikes and
wants its investigators to be provided access to them.

"There is a strong realisation in Pakistani security
agencies that without the help of elements in India, the
Mumbai crime could have not been committed," official sources
were quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper Tuesday.

In what could further delay the prosecution of Mumbai
attackers, the paper said Pakistan is also seeking DNA samples
of the terrorists involved in the strikes and more information
about contacts made by them through the internet.

The Pakistani investigation report into the Mumbai
attacks, which was reviewed Monday at a meeting of the
Defence Committee of the Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister
Yousuf Raza Gilani, would be sent to New Delhi in a couple of
days, the paper quoted these officials.

In its report, Pakistan has sought results of DNA
tests on Ajmal Kasab and the nine other attackers killed by
Indian security forces so that these could be matched with
their family members, if any, in Pakistan, the sources said.

Pakistan wants information about weapons used by the
terrorists and details of mobile phone calls made by them and
taped by Indian security agencies. MORE PTI RHL
