Indian officials suspect the Islamic terrorists in Mumbai may have British links after examining BlackBerry phones they used to monitor news reports.
Key figures in the terrorist gang were equipped with the devices that meant they were able to monitor British news, even when the authorities turned off power.
A senior officer in the country's elite Black Cat commando unit told the Telegraph, the gunmen were able to trawl the internet for information once they lost cable television feeds to the two luxury hotels and office block. The men looked beyond the instant updates of the Indian media to find worldwide reaction to the events in Mumbai.
Their analysis of at least five BlackBerry mobile phones recovered suggested the terrorists had links to England.
Mumbai attack: Government 'intensively' investigating British links
David Miliband has suggested he is taking extremely seriously reports that British gunmen may have been involved in the Mumbai attacks, saying that the security services are investigating "intensively" any possible links.
Possible British passport terrorists. I am currently reading an extremely informative and scary book: By Ed Husain, titled “The Islamist: Why I joined radical Islam in Britain, what I saw inside and why I left”, 2007. He gives much detail on the ins and outs of various muslim/student organizations, their conflicts/cooperation, ideology and radical plans.
Even after 7/7 it seems the British have been very slow to take effective action, although since I have not finished reading, they may be doing more now. This whole dual passport thing needs careful review.
