Pakistanis Directed Killings By Phone

According to The New York Times, Indian investigators have uncovered evidence that the Mumbai attacks were stage-managed from at least two Pakistani cities by top leaders from the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. It is believed that the contacts in Pakistan guided the gunmen via cell phone as the attack unfolded and even decided, in some cases, hostages’ fates. Yusuf Muzammil, a Lashkar operative, is believed to have been the mastermind of the attacks and to have participated from Lahore. His boss, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, is believed to have participated from Karachi. Western officials believe that the investigation could broaden to include terrorists within India.
