Mumbai Dossier… Fact or Fiction?

It is now approximately a month an a half since the attacks of Mumbai. The Indian Government decided to, at last, send a document to Pakistani authorities to prove Pakistani nationals were involved.

You can find PDF versions contributed by a Pro-Pakistan blogger below. Be advised, I have not yet been able to find an alternative source that has published this document on its website.

You can download the documents from the links below. The dossier is divided into two files available on link and could be accessed through the the first two links, while the third one contains a copy of the slides presented by some Indian department.

Initial Impressions
The document contains details from terrorists possessions to their activities.

I am not an expert on evaluating the quality of evidence. However, during my review I found certain aspects of the document interesting. The first is this excerpt on page 5 of the PDF document.

Now there is some ambiguity here, at least to me, it says here that “On the November 23, 2008, at 1500 hours, the captured terrorist noticed another boat docked next to Al-Hussaini.”(Al-Hussaini is the first of the “motherships” used) There is no reference, where the boat was “docked” despite exact co-ordinates given at the end of document pertaining to path of journey. Also notice the “enlightenment” aspect of this part as the terrorist suddenly notices a boat and it was not preplanned but left to chance, a highly questionable aspect given the precise execution of the attacks. It is also inconsistent with terrorists attention to details as observed in Mumbai attacks.

Another surprising piece below,

The use of hindi in this document is a questionable aspect alone, since there is no background given as to if the hindi part was added by Indian authorities after the evidence was obtained or was it a part of the document. Even if the hindi part was added after it was obtained, the question is “Isn’t this tampering with evidence?”

The document goes on with pictures of possessions of terrorists. I am told that the floor cleaning brush had “Made in Pakistan” written on it. So I am speechless (and a believer).

Readers may find the document a refreshing read.
