| 26/11 attackers may have had Indian 'handler', admits minister |
| 2010-02-05 |
| [The News (Pak) Top Stories] The gunmen who attacked Mumbai in 2008 may have been guided by an Indian, or a man who had lived in India for some time, Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Thursday. In a television interview, Chidambaram said the man, whose true identity had yet to be ascertained, was suspected of acting as a "handler" for the 10 gunmen, who killed 166 people in the November 2008 assault on India's financial capital."When we say he could be an Indian, he could be somebody who acquired Indian characteristics. He could have been infiltrated into India and lived here long enough to acquire an Indian accent, and familiarity with Hindi words," the minister said. Chidambaram said investigators had known for some time that there was a "handler" who could be an Indian. "We know him by Abu Jindal... but that is not his real name," he said. "We cannot put a finger on who he is, unless we get a voice sample. And they (Pakistan) won't give us a voice sample," he added. |

| #4 BTW, our underwear fizzle bomb victim has admitted Alawaki put him up to blowing up an airliner with 300 infidels on board. I believe he is referring to the reported presence of a "fixer" of Indian appearance that smoothed the Fruit of the Boom bombers boarding...sans Passport. BTW, what is the point of your last comment? |

| #3 Lumpy, can you elaborate? Are you referring to initial reports that a swarthy gentleman of the turbaned persuasion bought a ticket w/o a passport? BTW, our underwear fizzle bomb victim has admitted Alawaki put him up to blowing up an airliner with 300 infidels on board. |
