Mumbai attackers got training from Pak Navy

The role of frogmen was confirmed by Headley when the Indian investigators interrogated him in the US last month, a senior officer said.

Headley had also told his interrogators that the Pakistani intelligence agency had paid Rs 25 lakh to LeT to purchase a boat which terrorists used to travel from Karachi to the Pakistani maritime boundary,where they hijacked Indian fishing boat Kuber to reach Mumbai.

Headley also identified,through voice sample test,two ISI officers believed to be in constant contact with the terrorists who carried out the 60-hour attack in Mumbai on November 26,2008.

Coming less than a week after Union Home Secretary G K Pillai told The Indian Express that Pakistans intelligence agency ISI controlled and coordinated the 2008 Mumbai attacks,the revelation from Headley is being seen as another clear indication of the Pakistani establishments involvement in the attacks that left 168 dead.

The Home Secretary had said the ISI was literally controlling and coordinating the Mumbai attack from beginning to end. Asked if India planned to interrogate Headleys accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana,the officer said,If necessary we may interrogate Rana,though we have no immediate plan to do so.
