New Arrests in Mumbai

There’s a flurry of new information from Mumbai: Two men suspected of being “black market cell phone dealers,” in CNN’s phrase, have been arrested in Calcutta. Police are questioning whether the men sold the cell phone SIM cards that were used by the terrorists. Meanwhile, the interrogation of captured gunman Mohammed Ajmal Kasab continues to produce new revelations. Kasab has reportedly told authorities that men wearing what appeared to be Pakistani army and navy uniforms helped train the gunmen. Kasab has also identified more leaders in the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group whom he says participated in the planning and operation of the attacks. The usual caveat: All of Kasab’s confessions—and the versions conveyed by Indian officials—should be regarded with some skepticism until more information emerges.
