New Delhi: Pakistan has admitted for the first time since the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that all terrorists involved in the carnage belonged to the Lashkar-e-Toiba.
After denial, delay and circumlocution Pakistan seems to be finally moving forward on the 26/11 case. Prosecutors have prepared a 61-page report which confirms that all the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attack belonged to the Lashkar-e-Toiba.
They have corroborated the statements of the surviving terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, whom is facing trial in Mumbai, and say there is sufficient evidence to prosecute them.
The report prepared by the Federal Investigative Agency provides a complete list and pictures of the arrested suspects and those who are still at large. The photos of many of the terrorists have never been made public.
The list includes Hammad Amin Sadiq, who provided funds and hideouts for the Mumbai attackers and attack mastermind and Lashkar commander Zaik-ur Rehman Lakhvi.
The other terrorists whose photos have been released include Mazhar Iqbal alias Abul Al Qama, who is accused of being a handler, computer network expert Abdul Wajid, crew member of the boat used during the journey from Karachi to the Indian waters Shahid Jamil Riaz, and two financiers Jamil Ahmed and Muhammad Younas Anjum.
The report gives details of 20 others still to be traced who were in the crew of the two boats Al Hussein and Al Fouz and some other Lashkar operatives.
The prosecution case is being backed up by 150 documents and 116 witnesses. The report makes it clear that there is sufficient evidence against the Mumbai attack accused implicitly dismissing the Pakistan government's demands for more evidence from India.
