FBI gathers evidence to follow trail in Karachi

New Delhi: Behind the diplomacy to drum up international pressure on Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks, an unprecedented cooperation between Indian investigating agencies and the FBI has prepared the grounds for the latter to now take investigations into Pakistan as the next step.

It’s learnt that the FBI has gathered “more than sufficient” evidence and has got several leads for it to travel to Pakistan and pick up the trail. Sources said the FBI is now likely to move the US Government to get necessary clearances to visit Pakistan, particularly Karachi, for further investigation.

Sources said the Mumbai police provided the FBI with unbridled access over the past few weeks. Besides interrogating Amir Ajmal Kasab, the FBI carried out a comprehensive “technical probe” of the communication equipment used by the terrorists. This generated a “wealth of information”, sources said, much of which points to Pakistan. Since six US nationals were killed in the attacks, the FBI is required by US law to complete the investigative trail.

Although the Terror network linked to the Mumbai attacks may have “erased” its footprints by now, India is hopeful a follow-up probe by the FBI will yield results. But Islamabad, which has already rejected a UK request to interrogate detainees, may not let the FBI in.

I dont think they will get anything substantial, bec. Organisation who led the attack must have erased everything by now. But they can definitely trace some of Dawood's men in Karachi.

This is good. Pakistan should allow this if all evidences and investigations are SHARED with Pakistani investigators and FBI should be given an observer status only.

You are right Asim, but Indians will never allow a fare and free trial of Kasab.
this may easily unearth many hidden links and conspiracies.
Imagine a simple DNA test of kasab may clear the ambiguity about his parents pointed out by Nawaz Sharif.

I personally can gauge indian from his height because indians don't drink milk so a fundamental hindu never grow more than few feets.

FBI has already collected DNA from all the 10 terrorists. They have to just catch hold of their parent and do a sequence comparison to match.

FBI also is supposed to have DNA sample of people from each geographic region and subregion so they can identify the origin of a person, but would investigation report of FBI be acceptable to Pakistan?

Only time will tell, if the reports are credible enough and contain valid proof, i'm sure the GoP will take action.
So far what the Indians have provided, can't do much with it.

With high in emotional octane Indians loosing cite of one very important fact – slowly but surely US is taking control of their external policy and setting ceiling on how much india could and should maneuver. US had sold that to india as strategic partnership and Indian policymakers sold it to their people as path to become great power. Well infect it is the same deceptive path British took 250+ years ago with few Indians betrayed their country. Only difference is colonization is no longer a goal but establishing control and influencing or directing action are. This way taking 100s of billions is much easy than colonization.

This is relevant to the discussion as one can relate how US control is in action.

US has strong influence in our countries (I mean both India and Pak), they know about the exact levers. Nuclear deal with India explains in ample the hold US has inside our country. Rather than investing more in army our aim should be to eradicate poverty, unemployment and I bet 90% of the problems will go. There is nothing wrong if a country is given assurace from a power like US that they would be protected if attacked ( missile/nuke shield) and focus fully on economic and social development, mind it with these two missiles of development in hand a country will never lose.
