Though many of the facts about how the attacks were staged have been known for some time now, the 69-page document provides crucial details about the telephone links between the attackers and Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives and identifies for the first time the names of six “Pakistan-based handlers” who were constantly in touch with the gunmen even as they wreaked havoc in the city during the November 26-29, 2008 incidents.
According to the dossier, the handlers who provided real-time commando-style advice to the terrorists holed up at the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels and Nariman House were ‘Wassi,’ ‘Zarar,’ ‘Jundal,’ ‘Buzurg, ‘Major General’ and ‘Kafa.’ Though the dossier does not identify any of the six as a functionary or operative of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, Indian officials say the links and affiliations of some of the aliases used by the handlers in their intercepted phone conversations with the terrorists have left New Delhi in no doubt about the involvement of the ISI in the attacks.

The government has prepared two versions of the dossier, one for the 14 countries which lost citizens in the attacks and a slightly redacted edition for Pakistan and the rest of the world. Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon handed over the dossier to ambassadors from the 14 countries on Monday. And on Tuesday, senior officials from the Ministry of External Affairs briefed envoys from other countries with diplomatic representation in India, including European, Middle Eastern and Latin American nations.
The dossier consists of a 13-page presentation of the main facts of the case and an outline of the evidence generated by the investigation to date. This evidence is then laid out further in a set of annexures.
The evidence includes eight partial transcripts of selected intercepted conversations between the terrorists and their handlers, data from the GPS equipment recovered from the fishing trawler, Kuber, photographs of ordnance used in the attack and items of daily use recovered from the Kuber, all with clearly identified Pakistani markings, and, most crucially, an account of the money trail linking Pakistan-based operatives to the purchase of the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calling platform used by the handlers to try and mask their physical location.
According to sources, the calls were made through Internet using service of Callphonex, a US-based company. The payment to Callphonex was made via Western Union by a person called Javaid Iqbal, who gave a Pakiatni passport number KC092481.
The payment of $238.78 on November 25, 2008 was made to Western Union agent Nizar Alsharif.
Pakistan is in the ‘thick’ of Al-Queda training, hiding, and covering-up.
Now we need another 69 page report to show how impotent the Indian Forces were and still are, that they were warned of all detail in advance and didn’t now how to drink from the baby bottle that was feed to them by USA Intelligence.
The Pakistani terrorist leaders reportedly instructed the local terrorists to kill the Jewish hostages deliberately, in the hope that this would affect Israel / India relations.
This is the gang that couldn’t shoot straight! If no one would have been killed otr injured, this would have been hysterical!
Imagine the NYPD getting a secret intelligence report showing how a certain group of terrorists would be robbing Chase Bank. The police did not act on the report and then, after it actually happened, the police call a press conference to express outrage that the terrorists robbed the bank.
