The officials in Indian Kashmir demanded that police in Calcutta, where the suspect is being held, arrange for his quick release.

Mukhtar Ahmed might be a double agent.

I would like to know if any of the terrorists are Guantanamo releasees. I see that at a minimum, some of the Guantanamo detainees were trained by this organization that perpetrated the attack. Some of those inmates are even scheduled for release.

Indian authorities believe the banned Pakistani-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has links to Kashmir, trained the gunmen and plotted the attacks.

He certainly didn't do India much good.

the lone surviving gunman from the Mumbai attacks, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab... told police that a senior Lashkar leader, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the group’s operations chief, recruited him for the attack...

Surprise? I’ll bet there are millions of followers of the cult of death who are working in police, security, government, and financial positions who would be happy to help the cause by breaking the law.
Why would they be worried about getting caught? People who would gladly put bombs in their babies’ diapers don’t care about a light penalty and a few months in jail.

This from Wikipedia:

“Guantanamo detainee Khalid Bin Abdullah Mishal Thamer Al Hameydani’s Combatant Status Review Tribunal said that he had received training via Lashkar-e-Taiba.[41]

“The Combatant Status Review Tribunals of Taj Mohammed and Rafiq Bin Bashir Bin Jalud Al Hami, and the Administrative Review Board hearing of Abdullah Mujahid and Zia Ul Shah allege that they too were members or former members of Lashkar-e-Taiba.[42][43][44][45]”

If you look up those names on Wikipedia, you’ll see that at least one of them is scheduled for release. My belief is that this is why we can’t have courts making decisions on whether to release enemy combatants.

Lakhvi has directed Lashkar operations in Chechnya, Bosnia and Southeast Asia, training members to carry out suicide bombings and attack populated areas.

Lakhvi allegedly sent operatives and funds to attack U.S. forces in Iraq.

The “cop” was a counter-insurgent. The Indian Army occasionally brainwashes captured terrorists into going against their handlers, through a counter-insurgency movement. This “cop” was a failure.

Yep. They also think the ISI helped train the attackers.
