ATTACK ON MUMBAI- A Prayerful Reflection ....by “KP”
Singh
- CALCUTTA, India – Indian police arrested two men accused
of providing mobile phone cards to the gunmen in the Mumbai attacks,
the first known arrests in the probe since the siege ended, police
said Saturday.
The two men allegedly provided SIM cards to the group of 10
gunmen that attacked Mumbai last week, leaving 171 people dead,
said Javed Shahim, a senior police official in the eastern city
of Calcutta in West Bengal.
Shaim said one of the men was from West Bengal and the other
was from the Indian portion of Kashmir.
Indian authorities believe the banned Pakistani-based militant
group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has links to the disputed region
of Kashmir, trained the gunmen and plotted the attacks.
The Kashmiri suspect was believed to be a local police officer,
according to a police official in Srinagar, the region's biggest
city, who declined to be named because the matter was still
under investigation.

airport, police say situation 'normal'
- NEW DELHI (AFP) — The Indian capital's international airport
was the scene of a major security scare overnight Thursday after
the sound of gunfire was reported, but police said there was no
evidence of any shooting.

- Dec. 04, 2008: The lone
surviving gunman in the assault, Ajmal Amir Kasab, 21, told police
Lakhvi recruited him for the operation, and the assailants called
Muzammil on a satellite phone after hijacking an Indian vessel
en route to Mumbai. During the attacks, the gunmen used mobile
phones taken from hotel guests to place calls to the Pakistani
city of Lahore.The Indian officials spoke on condition of anonymity
because they weren't authorized to talk publicly discuss the details.Police
officers said they were trying to get as much detail as possible
from Kasab.
- "A terrorist of this sort is never cooperative. We have
to extract information," said Deven Bharti, the head of the
Mumbai crime branch.
- Indian police are well known for using interrogation methods
that would be regarded as torture in the West, including questioning
suspects drugged with "truth serum."
- Bharti provided no details on interrogation techniques, but
said "truth serum" would probably be used next week.
He did not specify what drug would be used.
- Kasab has so far told police that he and the other nine attackers
trained for months in camps in Pakistan operated by Lashkar.

- More than 150 people have been killed since gunmen attacked
10 sites across India's financial capital starting Wednesday night,
including 22 foreigners — four of them Americans, officials
said.
-
- New York, Nov. 28, 2008- 2.00am ET:
- The operations against the siege of Mumbai appeared to be nearing
last stages with the evacuation of 35 hostages from Oberoi hotel
but fierce battle was on to eliminate a small band ultras holed
up in a Jewish building complex.
- About 20 airline crew evacuated from Oberoi hotel
- Total 131 dead and 325 injured
- Two Australian men Brett Gilbert Taylor, 49 and Sydney man
Doug Markell were also confirmed dead
- Mumbai's police chief said earlier today that the Taj hotel
had now been cleared of militants, but it was rocked by loud blasts
and gunfire this afternoon as security forces moved through it.Fresh
firing at Taj hotel- may be 2-3 terrorists still hiding on the
ground floor
- Indian stocks dip
- A militant holed up at the centre phoned an Indian television
channel to offer talks with the government for the release of
hostages, but also to complain about abuses in Kashmir, over which
India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars.
- "Ask the government to talk to us and we will release the
hostages," the man, identified by the India TV channel as
Imran, said, speaking in Urdu in what sounded like a Kashmiri
accent. "Are you aware how many people have been killed in
Kashmir?"
- The attacks were claimed by a previously unknown group, the
Deccan Mujahedeen, which demanded the release of all Mujahideen,
or Islamic holy warriors, in Indian jails. The co-ordinated attacks
bore the hallmarks of al-Qaeda, but there was no sign of any formal
link with the terror network.
- One militant inside the Oberoi-Trident, identifying himself
only as Sahadullah, told an Indian television station by telephone:
"Release all the mujahideens, and Muslims living in India
should not be troubled."
- The Indian Prime Minister, said that the terrorists had "external
linkages". "It is evident that the group which carried
out these attacks, based outside the country, had come with single-minded
determination to create havoc in the commercial capital of the
country," he said.
