Mumbai attacks: India wants to send investigation team to Pakistan
Indian home secretary has asked Indian foreign secretary to inform Pakistan about this proposal.
NEW DELHI:
India plans on sending an investigation team to Pakistan to examine evidence related to the Mumbai attacks, IBN Live reported on Wednesday.
According to sources quoted in the report, the Indian home secretary has asked the Indian foreign secretary to inform Pakistan about the proposal to send its investigators.
The investigation team aims to inspect the evidence collected by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), including items seized from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) training camps where 10 Mumbai attackers were allegedly trained, the news website reported.
The Indian team will also try to examine Pakistani ship al Hussaini, which was allegedly used by the terrorists to reach India. Examination, however, can only be carried out if Pakistan provides access to the ship.
Ajmal Kasab
On August 20, India’s Supreme Court confirmed the death sentence handed down to Mohammed Kasab, the lone surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 166 people were killed.
He was found guilty of charges including waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts, and was given the death penalty in May 2010. He later applied for clemency from the Indian president in a final bid to avoid the gallows.
