Official confirms that Mumbai attacks were partly planned in Pakistan

The Mumbai attacks were partly planned in Pakistan and several of the known suspects are being held, Pakistan’s top civilian security official said today.

It was the first time Pakistan has acknowledged the conspiracy behind the attacks may have originated in any form on its soil.

It already has acknowledged the sole gunman captured alive was Pakistani.

Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik made the comments during a briefing on a probe into the attacks today.

The November assault on India’s commercial capital killed 164 people. India says all the 10 gunmen were Pakistani.
