There could’ve Been Indian Handler behind 26/11 Attacks: Chidambaram

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has said that there could have been an Indian handler who guided the ten Pakistani terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008 that his true identity is yet to be ascertained, reported PTI.

“When we say he could be an Indian, he could be somebody who acquired Indian characteristics. He could have been infiltrated into India and lived here long enough to acquire an Indian accent, familiarity with Indian Hindi words or he could be somebody who exfiltrated from India to Pakistan and was adopted by the militants there,” Chidambaram was quoted as saying.

The minister declined to speculate on the name of the handler but made it clear that investigators had known for long time that there was a handler in 26/11 attack who could be an Indian, said report.

“We know him by Abu Jindal that something we have known for many many months now… but he is not Abu Jindal. That is not his real name. We cannot put a finger who he is, unless we get a voice sample. And they won’t give us voice sample.

“There is a speculation that Abu Jindal could be A, Abu Jindal could be B… but how as a Home Minister I can speculate? I can’t speculate,” he told a news channel, said report.
