ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan acknowledged for the first time in public on Thursday that parts of the murderous Mumbai terror attacks were planned on its soil and said several suspects were being held. Previously, the Pakistani authorities have said that the only surviving gunman from the 10 who attacked the Indian city last November was of Pakistani origin. Earlier this week, a government report leaked to television networks in Pakistan said at least five of the 10 attackers — who killed 163 people in a rampage through luxury hotels, a Jewish center and other targets — were of Pakistani origin. Indian officials have insisted that the attacks were supported by what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called “some official agencies in Pakistan.†Pakistani officials deny that, but on Thursday, Rehman Malik, the senior security official in the Interior Ministry, told reporters that several suspects were being held in Pakistan. “Some part of the conspiracy has taken place in Pakistan,†he said. His remarks were broadcast later on local television stations. He said police had begun a formal case against suspects whom he did not identify by name or list by number. India has accused the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba of responsibility for the attacks, supported by Pakistani intelligence agencies. But Mr. Malik did not refer to any alleged involvement of Pakistani security agencies. The leaked report earlier this week said the attacks were planned in a European country and Dubai over the Internet, using Bangladesh for logistical support. Pakistan also called for more information from India — a demand that provoked an angry reaction. “What is required of Pakistan is that it should not delay, deflect or confuse, but act,†India’s junior foreign minister, Anand Sharma, said. But Mr. Malik said on Thursday that Pakistan had “gone the extra miles†to satisfy Indian concerns. Pakistan’s message to India was: “We are with you and we have proved we are with you,†he said.

Yes. Finally they accepted that! Some days back I saw some Pakistan Bros who are blaming Manmohan singh that he is behind all this! I know Its all because of Media! But, Please Pak Bros, believe in us! Its all done by ISI. WE NEVER BLAME ANY PAKISTANI! Its all done by extremists not by common ppl like you and me!
but, you also have to agree that only 9 terrorist can not do this all happened in mumbai. I think there are some indian authorities were involved, who was helping them as also said by BJP. pakistan have arrested 6 terrorist out 0f 9 in which one was master mind of attacks. But i think there are politicians or rich peoples of different countries are involved.
Yes. I 100% agree with this! Without the help of somebody in India they can't do this! Some politician or some rich dog may did that! What I'm tryin to say is, Don't believe the Media (both Indian and Pak medias..). They usually support their own country and will publish some news which will get them more rating! We Indians Love Pakistanis as they are our own bros!
