    Officials said drug paraphernalia, including syringes, was recovered from the scene of the attacks, which killed almost 200 people.

    The heavily built men, who had undergone training at a special marine camp established by the Lashkar-e-Taibat (LeT) terrorist group in Pakistan, had also used steroids to build a tougher physique.

    "We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," said one official. "There was also evidence of steroids, which isn't uncommon in terrorists."

    "These men were all toned, suggesting they had been doing some heavy training for the attacks. This explains why they managed to battle the commandos for over 50 hours with no food or sleep."

    One terrorist used the drugs to keep on fighting despite suffering a life-threatening injury.

    The gunman captured during the attacks on Mumbai has told police he underwent months of commando-style training in an Islamist militant camp in Pakistan. The training was organised by the LeT and conducted by a former member of the Pakistani army, a police officer close to the interrogation said.

    "They underwent training in several phases, which included training in handling weapons, bomb making, survival strategies, survival in a marine environment and even dietary habits," a senior officer said.

    Yep, the human being is not capable of carrying out such an heinous crime. That is why they need drugs to hallucinate and carry it out. It's common for most criminals, even in American gang culture, people smoke up/shoot up before they commit any crime.

    This is nothing new though. The drug Meths was used by Japanese Kamaza pilots during suicide missions as it gave a sense of not only euphoria but also confidence to their cause. It was from the frist two workd wars that MEths got it's roots in society. It's potency coming not just from the state it produces but the length of time a person is in this state. Cocaine and heroine which have a short life span within the mind were greatly crippled by the fact that Meths has been known to keep a person high as long as upto 12 hours.

    Islam could not allow this. This is not a war.Attacking common people is Pakistan's war of cowardness.

    Drugs of those sort are against islam... so these cannot be Islamists and can't represent Islam.
