Pak seeks voice recordings of handlers

Agencies

Islamabad: Pakistan has sought from India voice recordings of the persons identified as 'handlers' by Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist captured during the Mumbai attacks, and other technical information to carry forward its probe into the incident.

The request for the voice recordings of Abu Hamza and Kahfa, identified by Kasab as his handlers, is among the 30 questions submitted by Pakistan along with its response to the Indian dossier on the Mumbai attacks. The response was handed over to India on February 12. The queries include a request for "authentic forensic analysis reports of mobile/satellite phones and... any other evidence establishing connectivity and communication of the terrorists with militants based abroad, along with identifying particulars".

Pakistan has sought "detailed transcripts of conversation amongst the terrorists" and "with their handlers" during the Mumbai attacks, which were carried out between November 26 and 28 last year. It has also sought "logs of cell phone interceptions".

There are also two questions seeking the forensic analysis of the Thuraya satellite phone and cellular phones used by the 10 terrorists who carried out the attacks.
