New Delhi: Investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks reveal that as terrorists held Mumbai to seige, the Lashkar-e-Toeba (LeT)'s frontal organisation was holding a meeting in Karachi.
The probe also says that men from an LeT sleeper cell were on a mission to blow up the Stock Exchange in Mumbai, the BSE earlier this year.
Investigators are actively looking into Bangladeshi connections of the outfit and not limiting their focus to Pakistan.
Faisal Nayeem, a terrorist was deported to Pakistan in 2006 under American pressure.
He was the LeT's commander in Dhaka. Sources investigating the attack claim that Faisal got in touch with LeT's present Bangladesh head, Imran Mian to arrange SIM cards for the terrorists on a suicide mission who ultimately carried out the ghastly Mumbai attacks.
During his stay in Bangladesh, Faisal Nayeem had set up an intricate network of agents which allowed him to take Indian youth to Pakistan via Bangladesh. They were trained in Pakistani terror camps and pushed into India.
Faisal told Bangladeshi investigators that he had coordinated several suicidal attacks that they brand as 'fidayeen' during his stay in Bangladesh including the attack on the RSS Headquarters at Nagpur in 2004 and at a BSF post in Hyderabad in 2005.
Investigators are interrogating arrested militant Ajmal Kasab and also questioning six other men who are a part of a LeT sleeper cell entrusted with the mission to blow up the Mumbai Stock Exchange in March this year.
Two Pakistanis, Imran Shahzad and Bhattia and four Indians named Sahabuddin, Fahim, Arshad and Sohail were recruited from Dubai by the ISI and sent to LeT training camps.
They were arrested just before carrying out the major strike. They were trained to be suicide bombers.
The Indian investigators are planning to share all this evidence with Pakistan but the problem is that Lashkar is not a banned outfit in Pakistan and still functions openly in Karachi. It has operations and offices in other Pakistani cities too.
They are controlled by ISI and the civilian government has no power over them.
So, even as the siege on Mumbai was on, Lashkar's frontal organisation, Jamaat-ud-Daawa was holding a meeting of its supporters on November 28th in Karachi.
Leaders gave inflammatory speeches, asking for an attack on Kashmir and demanding their government stop the peace process with India.
