Pakistan: New suspect arrested over Mumbai attack
2009-04-15
[ADN Kronos] Pakistan's top civilian security official has revealed that authorities have arrested a fifth suspect linked to last year's deadly siege in the Indian city of Mumbai.
'civilian security official': he was out of uniform that day?
Interior ministry chief Rehman Malik said on Monday that Shahid Jamil Riaz was arrested in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi. Riaz is alleged to have maintained financial accounts and helped to plan the November attack, which killed around 170 people in India's commercial capital.

Malik added that Pakistan needed more information from India to aid its investigation. Pakistan summoned India's deputy high commissioner to the interior ministry and asked for more information on the Mumbai attack, including a certified copy of the statement given by the lone surviving attacker Ajmal Kasab before a magistrate.

Malik said Pakistan had requested a copy of the charge sheet against Kasab, who is also known as Ajmal Iman. The de facto interior minister also asked for details of the mobile phone's SIM card and GPRS system used in the attacks. He also asked India for a copy of the statement Ajmal Kasab recently made before the court.
All this so that the ISI can figure out where they made mistakes in their Mumbai op ...
He said five of the nine suspects were in custody but did not disclose when Riaz was picked up.

India blamed the outlawed Kashmiri separatist group, Lashkar-e-Toiba, (LeT) for the November siege that claimed the lives of Indians and others in the siege at two luxury hotels.

Islamabad admitted in February for the first time that the Mumbai attacks were planned partly in Pakistan and filed a case against several suspects, saying that six of them were already in custody.

Kasab's trial is due to start in Mumbai on Wednesday.The 21-year-old faces the death penalty if convicted on a string of charges relating to the attack.

In January Pakistan bowed to international pressure and arrested 124 militants suspected of involvement in the deadly terrorist attacks. The government said it had closed five training camps and 20 offices belonging to banned charity Jamaat-ud-Dawa and LeT.

#3  I suspect the Europe story was cover to allow the Pak Interior Ministry to send Riaz to India without causing problems with the Islamists or the Military.

Now that they've publicized the Karachi arrest, he can no longer be sent to India.
