WSJ: Mombai Police Home in on Attack Mastermind
2008-12-02
A senior police official said that, in all, the names and numbers of five members of the Pakistani group's leadership were contained in a satellite phone left behind by the terrorists on a fishing vessel they hijacked then abandoned before reaching Mumbai. Records from the phone show calls had been made from it to these five men.

Among them: Yusuf Muzammil, head of Lashkar-e-Taiba's terrorism operations against India. The senior Indian police official said he was identified as the mastermind of the attacks by the only terrorist captured alive, Ajmal Kasab, or Qasab. The police official said two of Mr. Muzammil's deputies orchestrated the strikes, according to Mr. Kasab's testimony.

#6  They came from the Land of the Pure, the Master Religion. It is blasphemy to think that those pagan Hinjoos could possibly trace them back after India's 9/11, so what matters a few phones and such left behind on a boat crewed by the dead in the middle of the sea?

#5  Not to be a conspiracy nut, but it would be nice to have some independent corroborating evidence: like Besoeker said, a planned op would not have left such behind, so either it was not well-planned (seems reasonable) or it was left behind for purposes of disinformation (perhaps not likely, but not impossible.)

#4  For a well planned, highly trained and rehearsed terror op, always remember your cell phones, credit cards, laptops, hotel room keys, family photos letters, and designer clothing. Never deploy without them!

#2  The Pakis will say they don't have an extradition treaty for political crimes.

#1  So the big question is: What happens when the Indians ask the Paks to hand these guys over?
