A core group, the 18 chosen for the Mumbai assault, was eventually moved to Karachi and its suburbs, where the real drilling began and where Pakistani investigators later retraced the plotters'' steps. Out of 18, 10 were selected for the terror act in India.
The Pakistani investigation concludes beyond any reasonable doubt that it was Lashkar militants who carried out the Mumbai attacks, preying on their victims in a train station, two five-star hotels, a cafe and a Jewish centre over three days starting last November 26.
Acoording NY Times, a "highly placed" Lashkar militant source reveals, the paper said the Mumbai attackers were part of groups trained by former Pakistani military and intelligence officials at Lashkar camps.
"Others had direct knowledge that retired army and ISI officials trained Lashkar recruits as late as last year. Some people of the ISI knew about the plan and closed their eyes," the paper quoted the militant as saying.
