An Indian may have guided the 26/11 terrorists

New Delhi: The Union Home Minister of India P. Chidambaram said that there is a distinct possibility that the terrorists who razed Mumbai during the 26/11 attacks might have been mentored by an Indian. He also said that they were yet to determine his identity.

In his statement he also mentioned that by saying Indian he means that the concerned person might have adapted Indian mannerisms successfully. He might have been living in India having infiltrated it for a time that was sufficient for him to learn Indian language and diction. Chidambaram also said that it might have been an Indian who exfiltrated and was patronised by Pakistani militants.

Chidambaram has refrained from speculating about that person’s name. He also revealed that Indian investigators had known that there were such possibilities.
