NEW DELHI: Pakistan's foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Saturday promised to help India unearth the hand behind the Mumbai attack. Well, he will not have to work hard. For, Indian agencies have managed to lay their hands on evidence which has ripped apart Islamabad's perennial denial about the involvement of Pakistan's quasi-state actor in the terror campaign against India. Sources said a satellite phone recovered from one of the rafts that the 10 jihadi desperados used to enter Mumbai on that fateful Wednesday night has yielded tell-tale evidence of the direct involvement of top hierarchy of ISI-backed Lashkar-e-Toiba in the Mumbai mayhem.
The satellite phone records show that the gang remained in touch with Muzammil alias Yusuf who is in-charge of Lashkar's anti-India operations. More crucially, Ajmal has told his ATS interrogators about the direct interest that Zakiur Rahman, a top-ranking jihadi and one of the founding members of Lashkar, took in the anti-Mumbai plot.
Sources said information harvested from the satellite phone, the GPS device that the jihadis used to navigate their way to Mumbai and the detailed account of Ajmal, the gang member in custody, add up to a solid body of evidence of Lashkar's direct complicity.

Whatever is opposed to the interests and security of the United States and India, regardless of the ramifications, you can expect the elite liberal worldwide media TO SUPPORT IT.
The Caucasus region has been geographically important for hundreds of years. Its a major gateway into the Middle East. The real question IMHO is why does Russia think it is so important ?
They can use it to extend their power in the immediate region. The US lacking reliable allies in the region, obviously cannot.
You might be right about Turkey, but Iraq has become fairly reliable since we surged over 50,000 US troops into the country. Of course that could change if Tweedledum moves those troops from Iraq into Ubucketstan. Have a great day/nite.
You defend democracies because it is the right thing to do, you sound like Hitler. Georgia deserves our fullest support now, even if it isn't "strategic"(they have no oil).
To our Georgian Freeper/Lurkers, don't listen to this kind of talk, most Americans will defend Georgia fron the "Bear", if given the chance.
I see your LOL and up you a LOL!
How comforting to know that India has total access to our medical records, SSI numbers, computers, phones, lawsuit info etc.
What were we thinking? We have turned our most private information over to someone that wears a pair of sandals while riding a bicycle to work and shares dinner with rats. WTF!
In the radical madrasahs in Pakistan, you have young children spending their lives being indoctrinated in Islam. These madrasahs are effectively boarding schools for jihadis.
India also has the problem that it has many Indians working in the Middle East, who would be very vulnerable if India gets into a conflict with Muslims.
Obama is about to discover what Rick Perry says Bush quickly discovered. Being President is a pretty crappy job.
Saudi Arabia financed the Pakistani ("The Muslim Bomb") bomb...you'd be wise to consider that Saudia Arabia took their pay back in bombs, huh?
Thanks,...it’s getting ugly!
And the identity theft fraud and crimes committed in US by US residents are thousand times more than problems originating from outsourcing to India.
Did you lose a low skilled office job to outsourcing by any chance?
The image that actually came to mind was Fail Safe, where the American President, in order to avoid a nuclear war because of a mistaken nuke attack on Russia, voluntarily nuked New York. Pakistan may need to nuke (either figuratively or literally) the tribal provinces on the Afghan border, where the Taliban and Al Qaeda are, to avoid an all out nuclear exchange with India (and us?).
>>”Did you lose a low skilled office job to outsourcing by any chance?”<<
Was that you that I talked to the other day at the “Tech Center”? Better touch up on your English because I couldn’t understand a word you said.
No. The only office I work in is my own, 100% owned by me and no need to outsource to turd world countries. In fact, we absolutely prohibit sales of our product to any country outside of the U.S. It’s great to be your own boss and own your own company.
Kumar, if your country is so wonderful, why aren’t you playing golf over there?
My country is wonderful and I am playing golf there! At Royal Oaks Country Club in Vancouver, WA. Come on over and we can play a round.
In addition, Pakistan has already been overly promiscuous
with the nuclear technology.
Am I wrong here that a collapsing Pakistan would essentially leave our boys stranded in Afghanistan without supplies (barring India taking Kashmir) or do we have friends to the north?
Are the troops in Afghanistan re-supplied by sea thru Karachi, then overland thru Pakistan to Afghanistan? I don't think they are.
Instead, I suspect the entire supply mission is via air -- over Pakistan.
Accordingly, the supply line should remain secure. Whoever is in charge of Pakistan loses no face when a C-17 crosses the country at 35,000 ft -- outtasight, outtamind so to speak. A truck convoy or a train is a different, more vulnerable matter.
But if some crazy lit off a guided missile or attempted an intercept of the C-17, the gates of hell would expectedly open. I don't think a Pakistani regime risks the outcome that creates a second, even more powerful enemy.
