Pakistan admits Mumbai attacks planned on its soil, Kasab Pakistani


Pakistan on Thursday acknowledged the Mumbai attacks were planned on its soil and confirmed Kasab the lone surviving terrorist is a Pakistani. This is for the first time India's Islamic neighbour accepted of its soil being used for spreading terror in India. The news came after months of denial and equivocation and coincided with the end of U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke's four day visit to Islamabad. Political analysts claim U.S. might have coaxed Pakistan to take some responsibility of the attack so as to avoid a fullfledged backlash from nuclear armed India.
