Pakistan Admits Link To Mumbai
10:29am UK, Friday February 13, 2009
The Mumbai terror attacks which killed 164 people were partly planned on Pakistani soil, a top official has conceded.

The admissions is an about-face by Islamabad, which had strongly denied the terrorists had any connection to the country.
Last November, 10 gunmen besieged a number locations in India's financial capital including two luxury hotels and a Jewish centre.
India blames the attacks on terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET), a militant group considered to have been founded by Pakistani intelligence in the 1980s.
New Delhi also says the gunmen - only one of whom was captured alive - were Pakistanis and their handlers in Pakistan were in communication with them during the three-day assault.
"I want to assure the international community, I want to assure all those who have been victims of terrorism, that we mean business," interior ministry chief Rehman Malik said at a news conference.
"Some part of the conspiracy has taken place in Pakistan and ... according to the available information, most of them (the suspects) are in our custody."

Mr Malik added their investigations had determined three boats were used by the attackers to sail from southern Pakistan to India.
A copy of Pakistan's findings would be handing over to India and they would begin criminal proceedings against eight suspects, six of which were in custody, according to Mr Malik.
Two of those in custody are senior LET leaders.
All the suspects are Pakistani citizens and face charges of "abetting, conspiracy and facilitation" of a terrorist act.
India welcomed Pakistan's comments and said it would take a look at their investigation report and "share whatever we can" with authorities there.
"For the first time it has been recognised officially by Pakistani authorities that the elements are emanating from Pakistan who are responsible for the terror attacks in Mumbai," India's Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
