Pakistan Navy frogmen trained Kasab, other terrorists

DELHI: American terrorist David Coleman Headley has nailed the Pakistan Navy as well for its role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, in yet another confirmation of the involvement of Pakistan's state actors in the carnage.

Confirming what the lone surviving attacker Ajmal Kasab confessed in Mumbai, Headley had told National Investigation Agency (NIA) interrogators in Chicago last month that all the 10 attackers had got intensive training from Pakistan Navy frogmen.

Kasab had confessed that the 10 terrorists, including himself, who attacked Mumbai received training in swimming and underwater diving from Pakistan Navy frogmen. A frogman is someone who is trained to dive, swim and combat.

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

This is being seen as another clear indication of the Pakistani establishment's involvement in the planning and execution of the Mumbai terror attack, which claimed 166 lives. The Pakistani origin terrorist Headley, who is currently in Chicago jail, also told the NIA team that Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI had been involved in planning and execution of the Mumbai terror attacks.

Referring to Headley's interrogation report, home secretary G K Pillai had recently said that the ISI was "literally controlling and coordinating the (Mumbai) attack from beginning to end".

Sources said that the Indian investigators so far have no plan to interrogate Headley's accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Pakistani origin Canadian citizen, as his involvement in the Mumbai attack conspiracy was limited to providing finance.

"If necessary, we may interrogate Rana also, though we have no immediate plan to do so," the official said.

Hmmmmm another superb article...Navy frogmen eh? did they loan a submarine as well? this is sounding like the plot of Under siege. Wonder if they were trained by air force officers too After all they might have flown in......They might have been trained by army officers too as they might have caught a bus or a train....They might have walked so maybe they were trained by SF!!!!!
