In its search to find the 'mother ship' of the terrorists who have attacked Mumbai, India on Thursday apprehended two Pakistani merchant vessels off the coast of Gujarat in a joint operation carried out by the Navy, Coast Guard and the water wing of the Border Security Force (BSF).
"We have apprehended two cargo ships in a joint operation near the Gujarat coast while they were sailing to Karachi. They are suspected to be the ships that ferried the terrorists near to Mumbai coast yesterday," Home Ministry sources told PTI in the Capital.
The three sea-guarding forces were put on a high alert after intelligence agencies gave inputs about a merchant vessel, suspected to be involved in the terror attacks on Mumbai since Wednesday, trying to move towards Karachi in Pakistan.
The forces were, in fact, conducting their routine joint exercises in the general area of the Gujarat coast when they received the intelligence inputs and they immediately diverted their assets for searching the run-away merchant vessel.
"In the evening, Indian ships sighted two ships including the one about which intelligence agencies had given a tip-off," Home Ministry sources said.
The Indian ships apprehended both the cargo ships, which were identified as MV Alpha and MV Al Kabir. Officers of the three forces were ascertaining the credentials of the crew on board the two ships, sources added.

It is suspected that the terrorists hijacked the Kuber, killed the crew except the captain who was forced to sail the boat to Mumbai, then the terrorist assault force launched the inflatable boats and the Kuber returned to waters off Porbander where the captain, Amarsing Naran was killed and the remaining terrorists left in a separate boat back to the Pakistani coast near Karachi.
Paki sources identified by appearance that the attackers in the photographs as being Punjabi (from NW India, E Pakistan).
Three terrorists were captured at the Taj Mahal Hotel: Ajmal Amir Kamal, a resident of Faridkot, Multan in Pakistan and two other Pujabi Pakistanis. The one Pujabi identifies himself as Salim the other refuses to identify himself. They all speak Urdu with a clear Punjabi accent.
A terrorist named Sahadullah during the Taj Mahal siege called India TV to make a statement and spoke with a clear Kashmiri accent.
They all claim to belong to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Kamal said there were twelve of them, they had come in a merchant vessel, which dropped them at 10 miles out where they took an open fiber-glass boat to Mumbai.
Kamal is from Faridkot, Multan, Pakistan (not to be confused with Faridkot, Punjab, India).
Send a message.......sink ‘em
Is that the sound of a ratchet I hear?
I have no doubt that bastards in Pakistan are behind this and many other acts of terrorism...
I also believe that before this struggle is over — vast sections of Pakistan will be rendered lifeless and unlivable for centuries...
THUS is the modern era consequence of Jihad...
Just great ain’t it? Two third-world nuclear powers in a pi$$in’ match and one believes in reincarnation.
India will not retaliate. They'll beef up defense but take no chances on an escalation. They love peace.
Unusual propulsion system - a boat with a special “motor” for going backwards.
Hey, I don’t take the pictures, I just display them. Enjoy, none the less.

If you call 155 people dead in a terror attack a pi$$in match, I think youre somewhat off kilter.
