Locals helped, Israelis targeted, and ISI involvement! (#mumbai)

The arrested terrorist is now giving names and addresses of the guys – locals – who were caught.  What did these locals help with?

– providing shelter
– taking them around and showing places
– passing information on police stations and  nakabandhis

What I found strange was that in one CNN interview with this Jew who lived a few blocks away from the Nariman house… and he did not know of the Jewish Center there!!  He had never heard about it.!  So it was pretty strange and eerie that these terrorists had identified some particular house – which was home to a Jewish Center (that was frequented by Americans/Israelis) – which even some local Jews didn’t know.  Well, that wasn’t enough.. the terrorists gang members had even rented a room and stayed at the place:

Kasab has told police that they were sent with a specific mission of targeting Israelis to avenge atrocities on Palestinians. This was why they targetted Nariman House, a complex meant for Israelis. Sources said Kasab’s colleagues killed in the operation had stayed in Nariman House earlier.  “They have stayed in Nariman house on rental basis identifying themselves as Malaysian students.” said a source. Police are trying to find out how Nariman House rooms were given to non-Jews.

Two things of particular interest found with the terrorists are: Fake identity and Credit Cards.  This is a red herring!  It is a clear sign of ISI involvement…
