(The pictures of all terrorists have not be published as they may be disturbing)

"Shoaib, who was 20-years-old was the youngest of the group while Nasir was the oldest at 28," Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said.Nasir is suspected to have been married and his wife either died or divorced him, he said, adding that the average age of the members of the group was between 23 to 25 years.Nasir, Nazeer and Ismail Khan, allegedly the leader of the group, had participated in terror missions earlier, Maria said. The lone terrorist captured alive, Mohammed Ajmal Amir, was initially identified as 'Kasab,' and he quickly became the face of the Mumbai terror attacks. His associate, now identified as Ismail Khan, was shot dead by the police near Chowpatty in south Mumbai during the early hours of Nov 27. Ismail Khan's picture and actions were also captured on some closed circuit TVs installed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) before he escaped with Amir to the nearby Cama and Albless Hospital, then to Metro cinema hall, from there to Nariman Point and finally to Chowpatty. The three who laid siege at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel were: Bada Abdul Rehaman, Abu Ali and Abu Soheb. The Taj operation was the longest and bloodiest of all at the 13 sites which were attacked during the terror strike. The duo killed at Nariman House in Colaba, where they laid a bloody siege to a Jewish place of worship, necessitating airdropping of commandos, are identified as Nasir alias Abu Umer and Babar Imaran alias Abu Akasha. The two terrorists killed in the attack at the Oberoi Trident Hotel have been identified as Fahad Ullah and Abdul Rehaman Chhota. Further investigations are underway to get the full background details of the nine killed terrorists, their associates and probably local support.(Report PTI, IANS)

god they were young guys.. look like young kids.. what were they thinking.. what was in their mind..
 
If Kasab was not caught alive India would had a great diffculty for Pakistanie gov't to act on LET. And also we have a talker in our hands that laying out all the beans, that is great.

Lol, that's convenient.

I'm sure Pakistan could get the LeT leaders to talk also and deny all involvement (which they have done)

So who to beliieve? A Kalava wearing, Hindi speaking terrorist, or a LeT leader? They could both be lying or both be forced to say it. That's no proof of anything, I'm afraid.
 
Revealed: home of Mumbai's gunman in Pakistan village
Since the terrorist attacks in Mumbai 10 days ago, speculation has been rife about the birthplace of the lone surviving gunman, Ajmal Amir Kasab. India and Pakistan have clashed over reports that he came from the Punjab. Saeed Shah, after spending days travelling throughout the region, tracked down the killer's home - and his grandfather - and found conclusive proof of his identity

* Article history

The little house was certainly that of a poor family, with a courtyard to one side and a small cart propped up in one corner. The old man and middle-aged woman who answered the door were not the owners. No, they insisted, the owners were away.

'They've gone to a wedding,' said the old man, identifying himself as Sultan. He was, he said, Amir's father-in-law. So, that would make him Ajmal's grandfather? At last, it seemed, this was the right place.

It had taken days to get to Faridkot, a small, dirt-poor village in Pakistan's Punjab province. More than a week after the arrest of the only Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist taken alive during the terror strike on Mumbai, so little was still known about him. His name, for instance. Was he Mohammed Amin Kasab, Azam Amir Kasav? Or was he Mohammed Ajmal Amir? The name Kasai in fact means he would hail from a butcher community - that would be his caste. But it was recorded as Kasav, then later Kasab. The discrepancies reportedly stemmed from the fact that the Mumbai police officers who first questioned him were Marathi speakers and unable to communicate with the south Punjab resident in anything other than Hindi patois.

And where exactly was he from? Faridkot is what he told his interrogators, but this is a common village name. There were four candidates in the Punjab region.

Days of trying to establish which was the right one had led to a Faridkot near the Indian border, outside a town called Depalpur. The nearest city was Okara. It seemed to fit. And it was at this Faridkot that Ajmal's father was believed to live.

Initially villagers were unhelpful. No, said those approached, there was no one known here of that name. Even shown a photograph of Ajmal taken during the Mumbai siege, all swore they did not recognise him. The mayor was clear. 'There is a man who came to see me called Amir Kasab, who was worried,' said Ghulam Mustafa Wattoo. 'He told me that the Ajmal on the news was not his boy. That boy's gone away to work. There's no extremist network here.'

Was this another dead end?

As the villagers were questioned, the confusions appeared to multiply. Finally the name Mohammed Ajmal Amir, son of Mohammed Amir Iman, who ran a food stall, emerged.

At other Faridkots, including one near the town of Khanewal, villagers had been friendly and helpful, proffering tea as they shook their heads. 'No. Not from here,' they said. For a while, it appeared that this Faridkot would also prove a wasted journey. The mayor said there had been no local police investigation, suggesting that the authorities did not view this place with suspicion. But, over time, inconsistencies in the villagers' accounts heightened suspicion that this was the place. 'He [Amir] has lived here for a few years,' said one villager, Mohammad Taj. 'He has three sons and three daughters.'

Noor Ahmed, a local farmer, said: 'Amir had a stall he pushed around, sometimes here, sometimes elsewhere. He was a meek man, he wasn't particularly religious. He just made ends meet and didn't quarrel with anyone.'

Still the picture was confusing. While sometimes confirming that Amir did live in the village, and had a son called Ajmal, on other occasions locals claimed to know nothing.

Finally one villager confirmed what was going on: 'You're being given misinformation. We've all known from the first day [of the news of the terrorist attack] that it was him, Ajmal Amir Kasab. His mother started crying when she saw his picture on the television.'

Attempts to meet Amir, the father, however, were not to be successful. Villagers eventually told us that he and his wife, Noor, had been mysteriously spirited away earlier in the week.

'Ajmal used to go to Lahore for work, as a labourer,' continued the villager who feared being named. 'He's been away for maybe four years. When he came back once a year, he would say things like, "We are going to free Kashmir."'

Wresting the whole of Kashmir from Indian rule is Lashkar-e-Taiba's aim. Ajmal had little education, according to locals. But it is still unclear whether he was radicalised in the village or once he had left to work elsewhere.

It is said that from the age of 13 he was shuttled between his parents' house and that of a brother in Lahore. If he did indeed speak fluent English, as claimed in Indian press reports, he would have had to have learnt that after he left the village.

But the villager who turned whistleblower said that local religious clerics were brainwashing youths in the area and that Lashkar-e-Taiba's founder, Hafiz Sayeed, had visited nearby Depalpur, where there were 'hundreds' of supporters. There was a Lashkar-e-Taiba office in Depalpur, but that had been hurriedly closed in the past few days. The Lashkar-e-Taiba newspaper is distributed in Depalpur and Faridkot. Depalpur lies in the south of Punjab province, an economically backward area long known for producing jihadists.

Shown a picture of Ajmal, the villager confirmed that he was the former Faridkot resident, who had last visited the village a couple of months ago at the last festival of Eid.

Some locals have claimed that this Faridkot, and another poor village nearby called Tara Singh, are a recruitment hotbed for Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant group accused of carrying out the Mumbai attack. On the side of a building, just outside Faridkot, is graffiti that says: 'Go for jihad. Go for jihad. Markaz Dawat ul-Irshad.' MDI is the parent organisation of Lashkar-e-Taiba. In Depalpur, a banner on the side of the main street asks people to devote goatskins to Jamaat ud Dawa, another MDI offshoot.

Tara Singh is home to a radical madrasa - Islamic school - and there is another hardline seminary in nearby Depalpur. The nazim (mayor) of Tara Singh, Rao Zaeem Haider, said: 'There is a religious trend here. Some go for jihad, but not too many.'

Some reports emerging in India suggest that Ajmal may have joined Lashkar -e-Taiba less because of his Islamist convictions but in the hope that the jihad training he would receive would help to further the life of crime upon which he had already embarked. But once inside Lashkar's base, his world-view began to change.

Here, films on India's purported atrocities in Kashmir and heated lectures by fiery preachers led him to believe in Lashkar's cause. It has also been said that, when he was chosen for the Lashkar basic combat training, he performed so well that he was among a group of 32 men selected to undergo advanced training at a camp near Manshera, a course the organisation calls the Duara Khaas.

And finally, it seems, he was among an even smaller group selected for specialised commando and navigation training given to the fedayeen unit selected to attack Mumbai.

The authorities may now attempt to deny that Ajmal's parents live in Faridkot, but, according to some locals, they have been there for some 20 years. But by the end of our visit, a crucial piece of evidence had been gained. The Observer has managed to obtain an electoral roll for Faridkot, which falls under union council number 5, tehsil (area) Depalpur, district Okara. The list of 478 registered voters shows a 'Mohammed Amir', married to Noor Elahi, living in Faridkot. Amir's national identity card number is given as 3530121767339, and Noor's is 3530157035058.

That appears to be the last piece of the jigsaw. A man called Amir and his wife, Noor, do live in Faridkot, official records show. They have a son called Ajmal.

Following our last visit to Faridkot, the mayor, Wattoo, announced via the loudspeaker at the mosque that no one was to speak to any outsiders. By yesterday, Pakistani intelligence officials had descended in force on Faridkot. Locals, speaking by telephone, said a Pakistani TV crew and an American journalist had been roughed up and run out of town. It appeared that the backlash had begun.
 
Kingfisher,

We've been over this a hundred times.

That article is not proof of anything.

All that's happened is a villager or two said that Qasab's mother started crying, and that Qasab used to come there.

Now this is a Chinese whisper.

I could for example, say that I know you, even though I don't.

That is not proof, and it would be thrown out in any court.

You can use eyewitness testimony, but if that is all that you have, then it's a very very weak case.

Example, I go to an Indian village with a camera spending my $$ on buying their goat's milk and accomodation. I interview lots of farmers to find out who killed Apu's goat in the neighbouring village. Everyone says they don't know. I am about to leave, then one villager, under conditio of anonymity comes forward and says he knows who killed his goat, and that I was misinformed. So, I decide to stay a little longer, spending my $$ and bringing some more of my camera crew over. The fame can be worth it to some poor people.
 
investigations are on we wil all know the truth in some time, but just one question does the let operate in pakistan? what is your opinion about azhaar mahmood?

The LeT was banned a while back afaik.

Now whether they simply changed their names, I don't know.

Even if they did, there's no evidence that they were responsible for Mumbai, except for the words of the little Hindu terrorist currently held.

The LeT were blamed for the train bombings if I recall, and we all know who carried those out, don't we?

Mr. RR

you are really convinced in your mind that these people are not from Pakistan, after all the evidence that are coming forth. Look out the box for once, and do get a fresh review.

Hmm if you don't believe ,then at least don't call him Hindu terrorist .You can simply call him terrorist .I can also call him Muslim Terrorist ,but as said by me in few posts earlier as well .Terrorists does not belong to no religion.

Anyway ,I know you people will never be convinced that he was from Pakistan .Its ok.

Like I heard few people saying what is India doing to Srikanth Prasad Purohit in Samjhota case and yes he been arrested and his career is already over .Investigation is going on .If India would like we would have never arrested him and taken away his medals ,status everything .
 
Mr. Roadrunner,

Since from your first post you are asking for proof, what proof do you want that they are pakistani, do you want them to carry their passport with them, Please specify what do you want as a proof.

Also nobody has till date blamed Pakistan Goverment for this, but some elements form Pakistan are involved and those should be brought to justice.

But it is not your fault, actually at any given time there are 3 parallel goverment running in pakistan, 1. The Democratic Govermnent, 2. The Military & 3. The Militant and all the 3 are interdependent on each others and have knowledge of there working, but pretends to remain silent.

Thanks

Attacks originated from Pakistani soil, reiterates US
Philippine Times
Tuesday 9th December, 2008
(IANS)

Reiterating that Mumbai terror attacks originated from Pakistani soil, the United States has said its focus was on diplomacy to try to bring to justice those responsible and to prevent any further attacks.

Dismissing reports in Syrian newspapers blaming 'Zionists or Israel or the United States' for the Mumbai attacks as 'Dis-or misinformation', State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, Tuesday said: 'It's just not true. Just not true. We know who is responsible.'

Asked to identify the attackers, he said: 'Well,... I will say only, as the Secretary (of State Condoleeza Rice) has said, that the attacks originated from Pakistani soil.'

Reacting to reports that Pakistan was not ready to hand over any suspect to India and was prepared to go to war in case New Delhi decided to attack Pakistani territory, McCormack stressed that the tone of Rice's meetings in both Pakistan and India was 'very constructive.'

'And everybody in all the meetings wanted to focus on a couple of things - making sure that those who were responsible for these attacks were brought to justice, and two; to do everything possible to prevent future attacks,' he said.

Going by news reports about the steps that Pakistan has taken over the last couple of days, McCormack said: 'As we understand them, these are good and important steps and could potentially serve the cause of preventing further attacks. Because that's the last thing that either side needs.'

'I'm trying to shift you to the focus on the diplomacy here,' he said when asked if the US would be ready to strike inside Pakistan to avoid India doing so. 'And I think because that's really where the centre of gravity of the action is right now.'

'These comments notwithstanding, the centre of gravity is really on the diplomacy and effective action to try to bring to justice those responsible and to prevent any further attacks,' McCormack said.

'And I would note that the steps that have been reported that Pakistan has taken are important in that regard,' he added.

On reported calls from many fronts that the US should now declare Pakistan a terrorist state, McCormack said: 'The threat from violent extremists and terrorists is as great to Pakistan as it is to anybody else, to India, to the United States, to other countries around the globe and with interest in that region.

'So we know that the Pakistani Government - all elements of the Pakistani Government understand that,' he said.

Asked if the Bush Administration was pursuing UN sanctions against former members of Pakistani intelligence allegedly connected to terror group Lashkar e-Taiba as reported by The Wall Street Journal, McCormack declined comment on any actions whether it's the UN or bilaterally that we might take in the financial area.'

But he declined to deny such a possibility too saying, 'I'm not going to steer you one way or the other' since 'we don't talk about these kinds of things prior to doing them is you worry about asset flight.'
