RE-VISITING MUMBAI 26/11 INVESTIGATION-INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM MONITOR-—PAPER NO. 577
By B.Raman
“The Mumbai Police and the Maharashtra Government continue to assert on the basis of the interrogation of the arrested perpetrator that only 10 terrorists were involved. The operation involved detailed intelligence collection, reconnoitering the places to be attacked and the final planning and execution. It is difficult to accept that the same 10 persons performed all these tasks. There definitely must have been more people involved in the conspiracy on the ground in India, in addition to the Pakistan-based conspirators mentioned in the final invstigation report of the police—— at least performing peripheral roles such as intelligence collection and reconnoitering.”

SNIPPET: Investigators probing David Coleman Headleys links in India said they were close to nailing the connection between American terror suspect and his Canadian accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana with the larger module that had planned and executed the 26/11 strikes.
Top sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) that has taken over the case said it had established that Headley and Rana were in touch with the same Pakistan-based handlers who gave directions to the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai.
Sleuths are now examining how the duo had corresponded with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) masterminds Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah, who are currently in Pakistani custody, and also probing if there was another module at all involved in the Mumbai attacks.
SNIPPET: Sources also pointed out that both suspects, now in US custody for planning terror attacks in India and Denmark, used satellite phone during their visits to Mumbai and Kochi last year before 26/11.
SNIPPET: The costs for these print ads were reportedly paid by Headleys job agency in Tardeo, Mumbai which was another front. However, sources said the advertisements were a signal to the sleeper cells of their presence and to let them know about the meeting point during their India sojourn.
Headley and Rana, who are graduates of a military academy in the town of Hasan Abdal in Pakistan, had maintained e-mail contact with other former students, including officers in Pakistans military.
They apparently belonged to a group of the schools graduates who referred to themselves as the abdalians in internet postings, according to FBI affidavits.

SNIPPET: In a statement, police said the suspects managed a money transfer agency and helped fund the November 26 attacks.
The day before the attacks last year they transferred money to activate an Internet phone account that was used by the attackers and their accomplices, Stefano Fonzi, the head of anti-terror police in Brescia, was quoted as saying by AP.
SNIPPET: Italian police began the probe in December last year after being alerted by FBI that the money had been sent from Italy, Fonzi was quoted as saying, adding that the funds were transferred under the identity of another Pakistani who never visited Italy and was not involved in the alleged crimes.
The two men have been accused of aiding and abetting international terrorism as well as illegal financial activity.
SNIPPET: They said Indian agencies are also trying to find out whether the arrested persons had any links with David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, nabbed by the FBI in the US last month on charges of plotting a major terror attack in India at LeTs behest.
