Six terrorists,part of a Pakistani group which struck in Mumbai,have been sent to Kashmir for some operations,according to the dossier India handed over to Pakistan.

Citing the interrogation report of Ajmal Amir Kasab,the lone terrorist held during the Mumbai attacks,the dossier says that the six terrorists had undergone training in various parts of Pakistan along with seven of the 10 terrorists who were responsible for the November 26 carnage in the western metropolis.
