Austria probes link between Paris, Mumbai attacks

[IsraelTimes] Pak man held on suspicion of ties to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
is thought to be bomb-maker behind 2008 deadly Indian onslaught


Austrian prosecutors said Monday they are probing a possible link between a Pak held in Salzburg in connection with last November’s terror assaults in Gay Paree and the 2008 attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai.

"Leads pointing to this are being looked into," prosecutors in Salzburg said, adding however that the identity of the Pak suspect, who has been in jug since December in the western Austrian city, has not been confirmed.

"Wide-ranging investigations on this question, among others, are ongoing, although the public prosecutors’ office has been waiting for information on this from Pakistain since December 2015," they said in a statement.

A source in Gay Paree and the Sunday Times said that the man is thought to be a bomb maker for Pak bad boy organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ...
India holds Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), allegedly linked to Al-Qaeda, responsible for the 2008 Mumbai assault that killed 166 people. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi is blamed for a string of high-profile attacks in recent years.

in Austria in December along with an Algerian.

French Sherlocks suspect that the Islamic State (IS) group, which grabbed credit for the Gay Paree bombings as well as attacks in Brussels on March 22, sent both men to Europe to carry out attacks.

Austrian authorities said in February that they are believed to have been in the same boat bringing around 200 migrants colonists to Greece as two men involved in the Gay Paree atrocities. While those involved in the attacks were able to travel onwards, the pair were held up by Greek authorities for 25 days because they were carrying fake Syrian passports. They then arrived in Salzburg at the end of November -- after the Gay Paree killings -- and Austrian police arrested them at a center for migrants colonists on December 10.

A security bigshot in Pakistain told AFP he had no information.

"We are in completely in the dark about such a person... who he is, his identity and his affiliations," the official said.
