Pakistani security forces have arrested the alleged ringleader and five others believed to have been involved in the conspiracy behind the attacks in Mumbai, India that killed 179 people. Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik said gunmen had sailed from Karachi in Pakistan. Malik admitted at least part of the conspiracy had been organized in Pakistan.

Rehman Malik: “Fact remains that it is not only Pakistan, but the system of the other countries has also been used. And I had earlier mentioned, the telephone SIMs from Austria, the web service, the payment from Spain and the payments in Italy, and the domain name is in Houston; therefore, we will be requesting through Interpol to FBI to help us investigate it, because this is also a good piece of evidence.”
