Indian security forces arrest 'Pakistani militant' in Mumbai: report
AFP - 2 hours 47 minutes ago
MUMBAI (AFP) - - Indian security forces have arrested three militants, including a Pakistani national, inside a Mumbai hotel attacked by a group of gunmen, the Press Trust of India news agency reported early Friday.
Quoting official sources, the agency said the arrests were made inside the five-star Taj Mahal hotel, one of several targets in the city stormed by militants late on Wednesday.
The report identified the Pakistani national as Ajmal Amir Kamal, a resident of Faridkot, Multan, in Pakistan.
It also said the militants were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba -- a Pakistan-based group best known for an assault on the Indian parliament in 2001.
The report said the Pakistani detainee told Indian investigators that the group of 12 militants had been dropped off by a merchant vessel 10 nautical miles outside Indian waters, and had reached Mumbai in a small speedboat.
It comes after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the militants had come from "outside the country," and the military official leading the operation to flush them out explicitly insisted they were from arch-rival Pakistan.
Pakistan's government has denied any involvement in the attacks, which have left at least 125 people dead and more than 300 wounded.
