Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari has pledged his country’s full cooperation with the investigation and vowed to take “the strictest action” if it is found the terrorists were based in Pakistan.

Investigators have already found cell phones and a global navigational device on an abandoned boat (the captain was found dead and his 4 member crew are missing) floating off the coast of Mumbai, which is how the Mumbai insergents are to have believed, to entered Mumbai.
Nor far from their targets.

There has all ready been television station showing photographs of a cell phone’s log that indicated calls had been placed to Jalalabad, Pakistan.

The President of Pakistan, has stated, “let me assure you, if any evidence points to any individual or group in my part of the country, I shall take the strictest of action in light of the evidence and in front of the world.”

Pakistan’s foreign minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, has vowed to take action against any group within its borders if it is found to be involved with the attacks.

Thousands gathered today, at the city’s largest park, Shivaji Park, to say farewell to Hemant Karkare, the head of Mumbai’s anti-terrorism squad. Karkare was shot three times by gunmen outside the Cama Hospital, one of nine sites that the attackers targeted Wednesday night. He was one of 17 police officers who died in the attacks. The cardinage has ended, but the mouring has only started.

By Saturday evening the death toll from the attacks reached at least 183, federal officials said. State officials are reviewing the higher toll of 195 they released earlier.

Vandana Pawar, a Mumbai disaster management official, says that an additional 300 people were wounded, including 23 foreigners. THis figure does not include the 11 gunmen killed (men in their 20′s). The toll is still expected to rise, as authorities haven’t finished counting the casualties inside the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Indian authorities said no one had claimed responsibility, although a group calling itself Deccan Mujahideen said in E-mails to Indian news outlets, that it was behind the Mumbai insurgent attack.
