New Delhi: In what probably could be a boost to India's investigation into the November 26 attacks in Mumbai, the FBI has confirmed that Ajmal Amir Kasab - the only terrorist captured alive during the terror atttacks, is a Pakistani national.
FBI investigators also say that the Mumbai attacks were planned by the leaders of Lashkar-e-Toiba based in Pakistan.
A team from the FBI was allowed to access to Kasab and questioned him for nine hours. Their conclusions corroborate the findings of Indian investigators.
The details of the FBI's findings made public by diplomatic sources. The FBI pronouncements comes hours after Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari accepted that non-state actors were his responsibility and said nobody would be allowed to use Pakistani soil for terrorist activities.
Last week, Kasab's father also admitted that he was his son.
