LeT terrorist Ismail arrested in Mumbai (Terrorists conducted dry run week prior to attacks)
Rediff India ^ | 11/27/08 | Sheela Bhatt

Ismail alias Zakiruallah, a Punjabi from Faridkot in Pakistan who was arrested by the Mumbai police on Wednesday night during the terror attacks, is giving interrogators the complete story of how the sensational terror operation was planned and executed.

He has told the Mumbai police that he has been trained by the Lashkar e Tayiba, said police sources while giving chilling details of the most daring terror attack in India that has so far killed 101 people -- and the horror story is not over, yet.

-snip-

According to information collected by the police, on Wednesday evening, around 10 Pakistanis came by speed boats to the coast near Colaba in South Mumbai from Karachi. From fishing trawls they shifted to dinghies to reach Mumbai, and the transfer took place somewhere near Gujarat. Alert and smart fisherfolk could notice that some unknown characters in casual clothes had alighted. They were surprised to see unknown faces and the unusually large bags they were carrying.

-snip-

The Mumbai police has got information that some six-seven days back terrorists had made a dry run also. This act leads to them believe that some local people could be involved in the terror attack, too.

LOL.
I'll bet he is! He's probably in a tiny little room right now with several Indian versions of Jack Bauer taking turns "questioning" him. Not a good day for the young man!

So was the ‘targeting US & UK nationals’ bit sensationalism? Was this part of the tiff between Pakistan & India & not an Al qaeda operation?

The targeting of US, UK and Israeli nationals was part of their game plan as they were primary targets for the gunmen/bombers in the hotels.

And they are allied with Al Qaeda and Pakistan’s ISI.

This is not a just “tiff” between Pakistan and India.

This has all the hallmarks of an Al-qaeda operation, and until proven otherwise, I will assume it is.

Escapees said they had asked people if they were American or British. That’s targeting.

Golly, you don’t suppose that they would water board him before he had a chance to call Ramsey Clark?

"Oh my Goodness...you don't suppose they might waterboard him do you"?

Quote from Obama's National Security Advisor to no one in particular....

He’ll be begging to be waterboarded. It’s much better than what they’re probably doing to him right now.

It was reported earlier today that six terrorists had been apprehended, and another one saying ten in custody. Sorry I didn’t capture the URLs.

Whatever the number, they must be getting the finest treatment as recommended by the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and other pro-terrorist organizations.

That is utter BS propagated by CNN, the MSM, and KosCreeps.

They want people to believe it’s “targeted toward Americans on Indian soil” because otherwise they must say the obvious: Islamic Jihadists.

There is ZERO, ZILCH, NADA evidence of “targeting Americans,” not a single known American death, not a single known American hostage, and only a handful of known American injuries, three or four in the hospital **out of an estimated 400 to 500 Indians so far**.

The numbers for other Westerners are equally low, in the single digits.

How do they do that in an Indian train station, an Indian movie theatre, two Indian hospitals?

The “targeting of US, UK and Israeli nationals” theory is absolute BS.

There are ZERO known American deaths, and ZERO known American hostages.

Then let’s call this an abysmal failure, because so far there are no reports that they got even a single American.

On the other hand we know that they’ve killed nearly 100 Indian nationals and injured/wounded at least three times that number.

Next time they want to “target” and kill lots of Americans they’d better look for them in some place other than a 5-star Mumbai hotel on Thanksgiving Eve.

And no more of that indiscriminate machine gun and grenade stuff in Indian train stations, Indian movie theatres, Indian hospitals, and the lobbies of Indian hotels. You’ll scare off your American “targets”.

Don’t you agree?

Good Lord, they might even put panties on his head, or start rumors of flushing the Koran down the toilet...?

That, and maybe make him walk in an “Elephant line”...

What you are posting repeatedly is not accurate.
The Islamic terrorists sought out Americans and British.

WHy are you refuting what people on the ground reported?
