Calls were placed from a satellite phone left behind by the attackers to ‘people who were known ISI members or had very strong ties with the ISI,’ Afghanistan's Ambassador to the US T Jawad told the ‘Wall Street Journal’.
Jawad also said there is evidence linking Yusuf Muzammil, the man identified by India as the attacks' chief organiser, to the ISI, but did not provide details.
Meanwhile, the ‘Journal’ in an analytical piece said the US's insistence that Pakistan take strong action against those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks has ‘aligned’ Washington more closely with the Indian position, but it is unlikely to coax Islamabad to oblige.
"The US is calling on Pakistan to arrest and turn over to India at least some of the suspects in the Mumbai terrorist bombing, aligning the US more closely with a key Indian position," the ‘Journal’ said.
"But Pakistan is unlikely to oblige amid escalating tensions between the nuclear armed South Asian adversaries."
The Indian government is under a lot of pressure from the public for not doing more to prevent this attack, the paper said quoting an unnamed diplomat.
"And they need for their political purposes to point to something demonstratively that's been done,” the diplomat said, adding, ‘an arrest by Pakistan is a big statement. Ideally there'd be some sort of extradition to India.’
US officials were also quoted as saying that many of the 20 people sought by India from Pakistan aren't linked to the Mumbai attacks and New Delhi shouldn't force Islamabad into a position where it can't make concessions.

All this terrorism is happening due to the foolish policies of ex prime minister IK Gujral, under Gujral Doctrine he gave unilateral concessions to pakistan and Bangladesh, he stopped all RAW's covert operations in pakistan and Bangladesh, but they did not gave us any compensation in return and increased their terror activities, we should stop all unilateral concessions and give special powers to RAW to reinvent its covert activities in pakistan and bangladesh so that they have to pay a heavy price what they are doing.
US politics does not allow India to attack the terror camps in POK nor can it ask Pakistan to hand over the 'most wanted' to India. One must ask wherefrom do these terror camps get fund. It’s well known to the world community. Who created Laden? Where is he now? Which perpetrator of US 9-11 has been brought to justice? What did US get from Iraq war? If we have to be superpower, than we have to ensure our survival first. We can't survive in the world alone if we can't make the whole world survival. It will be futile for India to think of getting US cooperation against Pakistan to safeguard her interest. India must develop world consensus against all those funding terror outfits. The world community must be vocal in responding to US policy on establishment of strategic bases against Russia/China/Iran causing greater tension in the Asian continent. Govt. of India must be cautious in developing strategic relationship with US. Indo-US nuke deal a boon or curse for India to be left on time to judge.
If LeT indeed is planning the creation of a caliphate to dominate all of South Asia, well into Central Asia, something akin in its mind to a recreation of the Mughal Empire, this is a GREAT DANGER to India's sovereignity. We need to remember that we have got freedom only because of World War 2
Indian Govt's Plan to Fight against Terrorism:First step announce this is just a small incident. It happens.Do not allow Israeli intelligence to give any help. Muslims will not like it.Detain American FBI agents at Mumbai airport for lack of documentationSome resignantions to hoodwink the nation.Organize Peace rally.Have some more candle light Rallies.Make sure Indian anti-social elements

60 hours of hostage torture done by Pak Terrorists during Mumbai Terror Attack in Nov. 2008:IT IS DESPICABLE TO MENTION THE HORRIFIC ACTS DONE BY PAK TERRORISTS:=====================================================================1. Gouging the eyes2. Cutting fingers3. Pulling the nails of children4. Rape of women and then shooting their privates5. Tying all the hostages6. Pissing on the hostages, especially women, including kids7. Peeling the skin of hostages, especially nipples of women8. Indiscriminate firing at odd places9. Pulling the hair of hostages10. Burning of hostages through grenades.This is not fiction. These are first hand reports from doctors who attended those hostages to confirm death. Most hostages had body parts missing like the ones mentioned above. The doctors have never seen anything more horrific like this before.Conveniently, this is being hidden in the media coverup - jihadi atrocities to fool Indians from uniting.
why is U.S taking decisions about what india should do or what pakistan should do ? and why will indian govt. want to listen to U.S ????
Well duuuuh! We dont ahve the guts to face up to paki. So we are taking help of big brother usa. it is they who helped us in the sat phone intercepts etc..
"US officials were also quoted as saying that many of the 20 people sought by India from Pakistan aren't linked to the Mumbai attacks and New Delhi shouldn't force Islamabad into a position where it can't make concessions" Well, it is this sort of manouvering,going about in circles,finding irrational reasons that frustrate people at large and sustain mistrust, and suspicion against US and Pakistan.I want to know besides a lot of verbosity, and hyperbole, what the hell Pakistan is willing to do. Enough of wanting proof, denying involvement by anyone in Pakistan, denying knowledge and pleading to be a victim, what can Pakistan offer. The country is rife with poverty stricken, Mullah driven young vulnerable people who should otherwise be protected from these vicious murderers who think nothing of butchering their own youth. Short of Serbia Bosnia/Herzogovina solution of bombing Serbs out of the earth, there is nothing that will succeed in protecting US and India.This is the last chance.
No decision should be made in haste. So it is is best to deal with this situation through UN resolution. I bet almost all countries have faced terrorism and it is the root cause of all evil. If Pakistan government is not able to root out terrorism then UN should send its force to help Pakistan to root out this evil.
DO YOU TRUST US? Yes theoritically, but practically ? Billions of funds were dumped into the Pakistan? Did they bother to see, where the fund had gone? : to purchase war weapons? to promote terror?
Well,US is doing it's part. UK is doing it's part. Afganistan is doing it's part.What India is doing apart from sacking few waste ministers?India again is showing a timid face and totally looking inactive(unless there is really strong reason which is not shown to public).How long we would look at America for our problems?
PRESENT GUTLESS UPA GOVERMENT IS SHY TO TAKE BOLD STEPS TO COUNTER PAHISTAN SPONCER TERRORISM IN INDIA
the very first and fundamental need of all stae governments is to properly train our police force to handle the gun and also give them regular drills and mock programmes of terroristas attacks. otherwise we cannot create proper security any where.Most of the police personnel lack proper physique due to lack of exercise. such personnel are not fit for the police.will the police and home ministry of all states wake up after CST carnage in the full presence of policemen
First of all I don't understand why ,US is playing a big brother between us. This is the one between India and Pakistan.Pakistan will keep on saying that it would co operate.It has two faces. One civilian. And another ISI.Still, they are all from Pakistan.Mumbai attack, calls for direct action by India. Will US or Israel keep quiet if it had happened in their land. Not only that, is it a first attack?indian political bosses would have to do lot of home work , before going to Mumbaikars , for next polls.It is attack on our dignity. No compromise.Just no compromise. It is the duty of Pakistan to turn over Dawood and other terrrorists or India must take them from Pakistan soil. It is as simple as such.
OUR SARDAR PM IS NOT A PURE SARDAR. THE PURE SARDAR IS THE PROTECTOR OF THE NATION AND COMMUNITY. IT HE HAD BEEN PURE SARDAR AND HOT BLOOD SARDAR HE MIGHT HAVE SAID "JO BOLE SO NIHAAL-SAT SRI AKAAL" AND ATTACKED PAKISTAN FIRST THEN WILL CALLED THEM FOR TALK. WE NEED HOT BLOOD
Afghanistan is the root of all problem in our region.we have to distance from them.There history is to just fight with other and nothing.
Pakistan will never get rid of the terrorist. Why? There is too much incentive for the govt to keep them around. As long as they are around, the world community pays Pakistan attention and gives them, aid/assistance to solve the problem. Its obviosu most of this aid goes into the pockets of the politicians. Now that they have Mr 10% (or is it 30%) running the country, we can expect less out of the govt. India should just attack and take over Pakistan. As long there is a corrupt govt in Pakistan, they will continue to develop and harbor terrorists.
Indian youth are not taking their responasability. The highly qualified, experienced and not corrupt youth should erect new political parties and win the elections. If needed, they can always consult the elder when framing policies!
It is essential to pin point the links all these terrorists share. What motivates them to corss nationalities languages and come together to kill and kill the people all over the world. Is it money? Is it just pleasure or is that all metally retarded people from all over the world come together? Answer is clear it is religious teaching, religious emotions, religious zeal, religious appeal bring these people come together from all over the world. And what is that religion.? It is Islam. Granted not all Muslims are terrorists but it is the religious teaching and scripts that makes them come together. Unless the world comes together and tackles that ISLAMIC problem these attacks will continue.Islamic fanatics will cross their nationalities and go wherever their masters tell them to go and kill non ISLAMIC people. It is the obligation of those Islamic leaders to come out and oulined what ISLAM says in their scripts about non muslims and if anything is irrational to correct it.
Two reasons why they keep attacking India. 1) can be done 2) no punishment. I want two things 1) blood for blood 2) life for life. That's it.
You are right Krish. But nothing will happen overnight. Change won't happen until we bring it - since we won't to do something that never happen in India, we have to do something that we (Indian people/youth) never done before. Old politicians / leaders should be kicked-out, we need bold leaders with solid, strategic aggressive policy. In fact, every Indian should start buying a gun now since Pakistani terrorist may already living in India - so whenever there will be war, Pakistan will have better chance to ruin India. It seems like fight between civilian without any weapon and fully trained terrorists with sophisticated weapons. Its not too late yet... We all should buy atleast 1 gun/family to protect India - no need to depend upon leaders for our lives... Jai Hind.
This is what Sadhvi and Purohit have done, but you are acussing them and tortouring them
War with Pak is totally out of question, if it has to be done alone!! If its has to be done with multple armies, then it does make some sense... Pak army is in par with Indian, so even if india manage to wipe out Pak, Pak would certanely manage to hurt India enough. And Pak has certanely nothing to loose!! even if we win the war, we would loose that little peace we have right now for another half century!!
Totally we all indians are fed up of pakistan.govt of india please go ahead and remove that pak state from the world map.
Gentlemen:Mr.Narendra Mody should resign as CM of Gujarat since he did not create any reporting mechanism to ensure the reporting of terrorists who hijacked boat "Kuber" off the Gujarat coast (Off "Sir Creek"). The Kuber boat owner, Masani, did not report to the Gujarat Fishary’s Dept. or Central Govt. coast guard about his missing boat for over three to four days! As the owner of his fishing boat, "Kuber", he could have alerted the Govt. authorities about his missing boat “Kuber”. This reflects breakdown of communication between Mr. Masani and the Gujarat Govt. As a leader of the Gujarat Govt. , Narendra Mody, must take the blame for his lack of leadership since Mumbai Terror attacks could have been prevented by Maharashtra Government.Signed.Dilip, USA
Mr Dil.Here where Mr.Modi has come in picture.In today's India Only modi is the most efficient CM.In his tenure only GUJARAT has developed drastically.The riots after godhra is the anger of people after godhra incidence. If riots had taken place after mumbai attack will you blame maha govt.Dont play blame game.by sitting at PC we will write anything.How can u blame modi for mr masani's irresponsible behavior.
You are right VIyer. In fact, Modi is the only "real man" CM in the country, everybody is female, cowardice and lacks patriotism. In fact, we need PM like him.
India should not attack Pakistan. Why do the people of India want to do the dirty work for the International community? If India attacks pakistan, it would be accepting another outsourcing contract from the West. Indian army was used in world war I and II as cannon fodder, Indians should wise up and not let themselves and their army be exploited in this manner again.
There is no other way out. This should have been done decades ago.
India should not go to war with Pak. Pak is now International Migraine and We must force the International community to fight it out.
India needs to get serious - Major powers don't wait for the green light before taking action to protect their interest. Indians should know that the USA will protect vile Pakistan white it suits US interests, and flatly reject their hypocrisy in asking India to show restraint. More Importantly, India needs to build up its military capability substantially - She cannot afford to languish in indecision while treacherous neighbors and false allies prey on her relentlessly. The international response suggested by some here sounds good, but I wonder if India needs such a force to linger in its neighborhood indefinitely.
