New Delhi: Maharashtra Police have shared information with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation on the Mumbai terror attacks.
The seven-member FBI team visited the site of the attacks on Monday morning and also met the state police top brass. It is the first time India has shared proof of Pakistani involvement in the terror attacks with the FBI.
Mumbai Police investigation report consists of admissions by the captured terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab. Details of the Pakistani made arms, including Kalashnikov assault rifles, have also been recovered from him.
Intercepted satellite phone calls between the terrorists and Lashker-e-Toiba commander Mohammad Muzammil too are part of the proof as also the details of the merchant ship Al Husseini on which the terrorists travelled from Karachi to the Indian waters.
Moreover, the terror e-mail which claimed responsibility for the attacks have been tracked to Lahore.
It was a guarded sharing of intelligence in a bid to reassert what India has been claiming about Pakistani terrorist activities.
Investigators say the terrorists left Karachi with the help of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and the whole operation was planned by former ISI chief Nadeem Taj.
Investigators have told CNN-IBN that the captured terrorist Kasab was recruited by Zakir-ur-Rehman as a fidayeen (suicide bomber) by paying an amount of approximately Rs 2 lakh to his family.
A standard fourth drop out, Kasab belongs to a very poor family and has admitted he was trained in camps at Kotli, Umm-al-Qura and the exclusive 'Point' camp for fidayeens.
LeT commander Muzammil himself was reportedly involved in conducting the training.
Kasab has also revealed the names of a host of LeT operatives based in Pakistan.
The investigators say they have reached a point where they will now have to depend on a full-fledged co-operation from Pakistan.
