Police in India said Tuesday they had identified the nine suspected Islamic militants killed during the three-day siege of Mumbai and uncovered new details about them — including their hometowns in Pakistan.
The new information, which included three gruesome photos of maimed faces, appeared to bolster India’s claims that all the attackers were from Pakistan.
Mumbai’s chief police investigator Rakesh Maria also showed photos of eight of the men — some from identity cards, while others were gruesome shots of the dead attackers. The body of the ninth, he said, was too badly burned.
Most of the attackers came from Pakistan’s Punjab province, and all were between the ages of 20 and 28.
Meanwhile tensions are raising in pakistan, Prof Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, who now heads Jamaatul Daawa, has condemned Pakistani security forces’ raid on the Muzafafrabad offices of the JuD, saying the Pakistani rulers have finally bowed to the Indian government which has apparently decided to use the Mumbai attacks as an excuse to crush the ongoing freedom movement in Jammu & Kashmir.
