Mumbai: Abu Jindal, one of the alleged masterminds of the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, has been identified by the intelligence agencies. He is said to be Syed Zabiuddin Ansari, sources in the central intelligence agencies said.

This identification establishes the Indian link in the planning and execution of the terror attacks, for Ansari is an Indian hailing from Aurangabad district in Maharashtra. He is wanted in the Aurangabad arms haul case and also in the plot to assassinate Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi.

The lone arrested terrorist of the 26/11 terror attacks, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, had said in a statement to the special court that a person named Abu Jindal had taught Hindi to the 10 terrorists. Kasab also claimed that Abu Jindal was among the top functionaries of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Indian intelligence agencies, which have been trying to piece together the jigsaw puzzle, believe that Abu Jindal is Ansari.

According to intelligence sources, they have been able to identify
Ansari based on inputs from arrested terrorists and by matching the voice samples of Ansari and the 26/11 handler who was directing the terrorists through voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP). “We have information that there was an Indian in the LeT control room during the 26/11 terror attacks. Based on intelligence inputs and information provided by arrested terrorists in Kashmir, we believe that the Indian is Ansari, who fled the country in 2005,” said a senior central intelligence officer.

Ansari had escaped when a Mumbai police team had seized a huge cache of arms, ammunition and explosives from Aurangabad.

In the raid, the police arrested 11 people who were allegedly linked to LeT and the Students Islamic Movement of India (Simi), but Ansari managed to give them the slip.

“After fleeing from Aurangabad, Ansari went to Bangladesh and from there to Pakistan. He was reportedly last seen in Karachi,” the officer said. According to the police, Ansari also played a key role in an abortive plot to assassinate Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi.

AAJ TV : Pakistan Ki Awaz

Indian can be involved in Mumbai attacks: Chidambaram
Thursday, 4 Feb, 2010 3:18 pm

NEW DELHI : Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram has indicated for the first time that an Indian citizen might be involved in Mumbai attacks, Aaj News reported.

During an interview with an Indian TV channel, he said that voice samples of the suspect from Pakistan were essential to conclusively establish the identity of Abu Jindal, who is suspected to the Indian handler.

“There was a handler in 26/11 whom we have known for long, or suspected for a long time, could be an Indian.”

Jindal is one of the alleged masterminds of the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. It is believed that his real name could be Syed Zabiuddin Ansari.

Chidambaram will travel to Pakistan for a regional meeting this month, a visit that may lay the ground for improving ties which deteriorated after the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

i guess the 'surgical strikes' might have to be directed towards a newer bearing now....downtown Aurangabad may be?

 

[EjazR]

Well according to the news report
“After fleeing from Aurangabad, Ansari went to Bangladesh and from there to Pakistan. He was reportedly last seen in Karachi” So that's where he might be currently.

That too if the report is true. Neither GoI nor GoP have confirmed it

 

[foxbat]

Must be enjoying in Karachi along with Mr Dawood Ibrahim at expense of GoP

 

[notsuperstitious]

i guess the 'surgical strikes' might have to be directed towards a newer bearing now....downtown Aurangabad may be?

No it will be Karachi mate!

Besides, we have already charged one indian in the case, so nothing new in this. Why one, surely you can recruit hundreds out of the hundreds of millions indians in your jihadi network, but the network remains in pakistan and thats where the surgical strikes will happen if not already happening.

 

[Xeric]

You have eaten your own words!

Shouting out loud over 'Pakistani Non-State Actors' but you forgot that there's rot in your own home. i wonder is it the beginning/revelation of another 'terror factory' inside india?

Indian handler behind 26/11 attacks, says Chidambaram
PTI, 4 February 2010, 04:33pm IST

NEW DELHI: The ten Pakistani terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008 could have been guided by an Indian handler whose true identity was yet to be ascertained, home minister P Chidambaram has said.

"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, familiarity with Indian Hindi words or he could be somebody who exfiltrated from India to Pakistan and was adopted by the militants there," Chidambaram said.

While refusing to speculate on the name of the handler, the Home Minister said investigators had known for long time that there was a handler in 26/11 attack who could be an Indian.

"We know him by Abu Jindal that something we have known for many many months now... but he is not Abu Jindal. That is not his real name. We cannot put a finger who he is, unless we get a voice sample. And they won't give us voice sample.

"There is a speculation that Abu Jindal could be A, Abu Jindal could be B... but how as a Home Minister I can speculate? I can't speculate," he told a news channel.

In either way it exposes the indian involvement or the least the super failure of indian LEAs to dig out a terror network thriving inside the indian territory. Well that's nothing new, Naxalites have already infiltrated 220 districts, this shouldnt come to you people as a surprise.

I am sorry I don't mean to troll. Okay I do mean to troll. Now there is really absolutely nothing funny about the Mumbai tragedy.

But is this Chidambaram a comedian? Is he going after Rumsfeldian fame with pontifications on "known unknowns vs unknown unknowns"?

Why not make it clearer for us:

"He could be an Indian Indian, or a non-Indian Indian, or a non-Indian-first-then-became-an-Indian Indian, or a non-Indian-pretending-to-be-Indian-Indian, or Indian-pretending-to-be-non-Indian-but-really-is-Indian Indian ..."​

i dont feel like laughing when i think of 26/11, but this one is

Why are we forgetting the anti-Indian terror infrastructure in Pakistan. That the 10 attackers were all Pakistani nationals. The mastermind and CinC of LeT Zaki ur rehman Lakhvi, darling of the ISI is now under arrest. That JuD chief Hafiz Saeed can say India with regurgitating venom and hatred. That UJC chief Salahuddin openly moths terrorist propaganda in Muzaffarabad as well as their training camps in NA and FATA regions (which later on were also used by TTP type groups as well)

The moment there is a hint of an Indian foot soldier involved, Pakistani security establishment and the apparent involvement of these terrorists groups should be left of the hook? Isn't that just hiding from facts

@oceanx

Let me simplify it for you

Chidambaram is not sure yet but there are only two options of the suspected "Indian" involved that he has explained:
(1) Either he is a Pakistani national who sneaked into India, stayed there for a long time and was able to learn and understand mumbai dialect
(2) Or he is actually a local mumbai Indian who sneaked into PAkistan and was adopted and used by the militants there for their anti-India agenda

In both cases the involvement of Pakistani based groups is of paramount importance.

6}Chadambaram is NEVER sure

 

[Xeric]

^^ so is the involvement of an indian, the fact that india itself is plagued with internal terror and that pure indians can (and have been) perpetrate similar attacks on the indian soil, of tantamount importance!

Oceanx, please elaborate on the difficulties you have with Chidambaram's statement.
