Investigations into the Mumbai terror attacks have revealed Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Laskhar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) hand in the terror strikes. New leads now show that LeT operatives based in Bangladesh, too, were involved in organising the attacks.
Sources have told CNN-IBN that the former Bangladesh head of the LeT arranged for logistical support to the 10 Pakistan-trained terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26 and held the city hostage for more than 60 hours killing over 200 people and injuring more than 300.
Faisal Nayeem, deported to Pakistan in 2006 under American pressure, was the LeT’s commander in Dhaka.

According to reports by Indian news channels NDTV and Star News, 5-6 terrorists involved in the tragic attacks on Mumbai may still be roaming the city streets. At least one terrorist has been arrested by the authorities involved in the battle to free hostages from the locations concerned. According to NDTV and Star News, the man claims to be part of a group of 40 terrorists originating from Pakistan (29) and Bangladesh (11).

Witnesses say the attackers were young South Asian men speaking Hindi or Urdu, suggesting they are probably members of an Indian militant group rather than foreigners.
Analysts say that while it is not clear whether the claim is genuine, the attacks were most likely carried out by a group called the Indian Mujahideen. The name used in the claim of responsibility suggests the attackers could be members of a south Indian offshoot or cell of the Indian Mujahideen.
WHO ARE THE INDIAN MUJAHIDEEN?
Indian police say the Indian Mujahideen is an offshoot of the banned Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), but that local Muslims appear to have been given training and backing from militant groups in neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Police said the Indian Mujahideen may also include former members of Bangladeshi militant group Harkat-ul-Jihad al Islami.
