Ajmal Qasab wasn’t only captured on camera at the Chatrapathi Sivaji Terminal railway station in Mumbai on Wednesday; he was the only of the gunmen who terrorized the city for some 60 hours who was captured by police instead of being killed in the battle. And after what was apparently a speedy interrogation of the wannabe martyr, India officials are saying that Qasab confessed to being trained at a Lashkar-e-Taiba camp in Pakistan. No surprise, as the LeT has also reportedly been hosting al-Qaida at their camps and even several American would-be jihadists. Let’s just say that, as the principals militant force battling for Kashmir, their training continues pretty much unfettered. And let’s also acknowledge that the intended targets of Westerners and Jews in the Mumbai rampage showed that the well-coordinated, well-funded attacks were about more than Kashmiri independence.

India has pointed the finger, and Pakistan has told them to show proof. The Times of India reports that Qasab, 21, said the following during interrogations:

“There were 24 of us who took one-year training in camps organised by Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) at Mansera and Muzzarafabad in Punjab province of Pakistan. Ten of us were later handpicked for the Mumbai operation.”

The attacks were allegedly planned in Karachi some six months ago, and included a reconnaissance trip to Mumbai by the young terrorists. Meanwhile, the Indian media is laying into the government over intelligence and security failures; home minister Shivraj Patil submitted his resignation Sunday and national security adviser MK Narayanan has offered to step down.
