Islamabad The lone surviving terrorist captured after November's Mumbai attacks has links to Pakistan, Pakistani Information Minister Sherry Rehman said on Wednesday, after media reported he was Pakistani.

"He has links to Pakistan but the investigation is ongoing," Information Minister Sherry Rehman said.

Earlier, Dawn News television, citing unidentified officials, said a Pakistani investigation had determined, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, who is in Indian custody, was Pakistani.

Kasab has nothing to worry about as as long as the people liked Amar Singh

Skirts are better than pants by viran on 08 Jan 2009

When Paki fools need the help of UN to solve Benazir's slaughter don't expect anything from them. For the truth is not in the paki's terrorist state dictionary.

decent job by harun on 08 Jan 2009

the least pakistan could have done is acccept the fact that kasab is a pakistani.leaving to to have pakistan black listed.the international pressure on pak must continue so that the pakis act on terror and we are safe.this was the only way india could get them to act on facts.those who have been demanding that india wage a war must be told that its no solution and the mature response by the govt must be appreciated.the very fact the pakis had to accept the status of kasab goes shows the effect of prolonged diplomatic offensiive.

Qasab by daljit on 08 Jan 2009

now that pakistan has admitted that qasab is pakistani after so many denials, in the coming days they will also admit that ISI was involved in training and execution of the attack.

No surprise if tomorrow ,Pakistanis disown Gillani and Zardari too by gary on 08 Jan 2009

When a whole nation is surviving by lying about everything, then you can expect anything from its selfish people , who are united only on the basis of religious inclination against all other religions of the world.

Kasab is Pakistani by Dr. Paras Deo on 07 Jan 2009

Pakistan is a country surviving on the food of constant denials. Even if the Pakistani media today say one thing, the Pakistani govt. will tomorrow deny this. They still can't accept the fact that all gunmen were Pakis. Let us not put too much hope in this Paki media bubble.

Who is Pakistani? Do they know? by Kumar Kumbla on 07 Jan 2009

Is Kasab Pakistani? Is Pakistani Information Minister Sherry Rehman ? Is Mr. Makhdoom Muhammad Sajjad Hussain Qureshi is Pakistani? It is a very difficult question for Pakistanis. Many of them they do not know there origin. ISI will determine who they should be.

ahahah by prasad on 07 Jan 2009

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has sacked National Security Adviser Mahmud Ali Durrani, Geo News reported Wednesday.Talking to Geo News here, Prime Minister Gilani said Durrani had given a statement to an Indian news channel regarding Ajmal Kasab without taking him into confidence. The prime minister said that Durrani’s statement had tarnished the country’s image

kasab by chanakya on 07 Jan 2009

This must be a heart breaking news for our own AR Antulay , as he was very sure that pakistan was innocent and Antulay tried his best to make this look like an inside job done by so called deadly Hindu terrorists

dont kill by xyz on 07 Jan 2009

india should stop killing innocent people in kashmir and should not allow raw to kill people in pakistan,try to accept truth,

ASK ZARDARI WHO KILLED BENEZIR BHUTTO by VED NARAYANAN on 08 Jan 2009

XYZ, Mind your own business. you try to solve your problems within pakistan. go and find out who killed benezir bhutto ? Ask Zardari he will be able to answer you.

"Wait and see" by ayodhyarama on 07 Jan 2009

Wait, wait, wait. Don't be happy so soon. Don't think that Pak minister has actually admitted that Kasab is a Pakistani. What Sherry Rehman said was, Kasab has links to Pakistan, which means he could be of any other nationality such as India, Nepal, Bangladesh, UK or any other nation on earth but just has some links with Pakistan, that is all. Even this remarks she will withdraw and make a 180 degree turn, when ISI and Pak army twists her hand and make a death threat. We have to just wait and see.

army by Raju on 07 Jan 2009

should have no more talk. it is enough while indian leader are being ruthless and actionless. it is time for army to take action. there is no match with pakistan and indain army as indian have all to boot them. pakis are well known for there shameless stand.army is only solution. India should learn from Isreal and America. just bombed them and take a grip on the situation.

military action against pakistan by mathew rajan on 07 Jan 2009

Dear Sir, Since Pakistan role has clear for the terrorist attack in mumbai, india must take military action (like israel action towards palastine), no matter what will be the consequences. People of india like living peacefully, anybody try to dictate india should be dealt with direct action.thank you,

MILITARY ACTION NOW! by Eddy on 08 Jan 2009

In World War II a lot of "innocent" Germans were due to carpet bombing of German cities by allied bombers. 99% of all acts of terrorism have been linked to followers of Islam who want to forcefully thrust their ideology and culture on the rest of the world. It is time the world took action to get rid of this cancer once and for all. "innocents" will be killed in any war.

Isreali massacre by RS on 07 Jan 2009

Do you think Isreal is doing the right thing by massacring the innocent and unarmed palestine, then you are sick in your mind. We can also say that what the terrorist did on 26th jan in mumbai was right to avenge the atrocities carried out by indian military on the kashmiri people in kashmir.

Civilians and Israel by Ravi on 08 Jan 2009

Key diffrence: Israel does not intentionally target civilans. Terrorists hide behind civilans. Terrorists deliberatly traged civilians and unarmed innocents. Please think before u jump to conclusions.

No parity between Plastine and Pak by romesh.sharma on 07 Jan 2009

Any where and where ever innocent people are killed is the greatest crime against humanity and a sinful act but there are situations when one has to adapt such actions to save/protect ownself and own people.War does stimulate the passions of power-hungry but Israel is doing this for its survival and defend against Hamas which is not a political Org but a declared terrorist group.They are well armed and are in uniform which speak of the fact that its and Army.To fight against them means to attack their hide-outs.Why they shamelessly take shelter in schools and other civilian families and institutions?No innocent should die because it pains all but not to these Hamas guerillas.Moreover this is noway to fight for freedom in today's civilized world.Moreover Plastinians have some reasons to justify while Pak has no reason to harm/destroy/kill innocent people in India out of jealousy and in a hope to get free money from Islamic rich countries as charity to fight/destroy socalled Kafirs(as India is seen a Hindu Nation).

Do not Justify Gaza attack by sameer on 08 Jan 2009

really romesh, how many times you have gone out of india, for your kind information, 90% of Indians working overseas are working in gulf, and mostly non-muslims, if they consider india as a hindu state and have difference in them, they would have not allowed any hindu to work in gulf. If they sent all the people back (around 7 crore) then govt of india do not have enough work to feed them, govt of india will lose a montly income of 6 billion $. that's the reason, GOI did not spoke a word when 3000 indians were arrested by UAE govt. Secondly GOI has 20 years contract with three gulf countries to supply oil and if they stopped supply oil to India, I think you will have to beg internationally and the progress rate which is wandering around 7% will directly come to 1%. now regarding gazans, what do you know about palestine, their one side border are sealed by isrealis and other side by egypt. They do not have food and medicine. they do not have any choice rather fight, coz death in both case is certain. You call hamas as terrorist group, by the way they are elected by the people of palestine, and if you call hamas as terrorist, then even indian freedom fighters were terrorist. Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad and subhash chandra bose were terrorist, their objective was the same as hamas has freedom. You only know what US lead tv channels let you know. Anyways, still time for you to do research and prove my claims wrong. Jai Hind

TACKLE PAK DIPLOMATICALLY TO END TERROR by M.M.NAAZIM on 07 Jan 2009

Every one knows the truth that this lone terrorist in Indian custody is a Pakistani , despite their denials , but at the same time many in India also think that India should conduct surgical strikes to dismantle terror infrastructure , the question is not about our MIGHT but whether to use such option when many other options are available to put pressure on Pak .Even a short run strike can flare up into a full blown war between two nuclear powers, which is avoidable at present . India is different from Israeli hawks and moreover their situation is entirely different , which many of our Indian friends fail to comprehend and unnecessarily blame the UPA govt without assessing the pros
