  • Reinforcing the Pakistan link to the Mumbai terror attack, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) told a special court in Mumbai on August 12 that its probe had established that the perpetrators of the attack came from Karachi. Deposing before Special Judge M.L. Tahaliyani, an FBI forensic expert stated that GPS devices recovered by the Mumbai police from the slain terrorists indicated plans for a return journey from Mumbai to Karachi and Rawalpindi. He added that this showed that the terrorists were given practical training in Pakistan to use GPS. The FBI official added that “way point” data retrieved from the GPS devices pointed to the route from Karachi to Mumbai and also positions between these two cities1.
