ISI funded 26/11 attacks: Headley

In revelations that clearly show an ISI role in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley told his interrogators that the Pakistani intelligence agency had paid Rs 25 lakh to the Laskkar-e-Toiba, (LeT) to purchase a boat, which the terrorists used to travel from Karachi. Headley also identified through voice sample tests two ISI officers who handled the 10 terrorists who carried out 60-hour attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.

Giving these bits of information on basis of the interrogation of Headley carried out by an NIA team recently, official sources said the ISI role in the attack was very clear from the revelations made by the LeT operative who is in the custody of the FBI.

Sources said Indian investigators also have information that chief of ISI Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha had met one of the handlers of the Mumbai attack, Sajjid Mir, who is currently in a Pakistani jail.
