Kabul sees ISI hand

New York: Afghanistan has said intelligence gathered after the Mumbai carnage has linked Pakistan’s ISI to the unprecedented strike.

Calls were placed from a satellite phone left behind by the attackers to “people who were known ISI members or had very strong ties with the ISI,” Afghanistan’s Ambassador to the U.S. T Jawad told the Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Jawad also said there is evidence linking Yusuf Muzammil, identified by India as the attacks’ chief organiser, to the ISI, but did not provide details. Meanwhile, the journal in an analytical piece said the U.S.’s insistence that Pakistan take strong action against those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks has “aligned” U.S. closely with the Indian position, but it is unlikely to coax Islamabad to oblige. — PTI
