An Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) official said that similar to disaster-related relief funds collected back home, national banks in some Gulf countries give the option of donation to Islamic institutes in ATMs and even over-the-desk transactions for tax savings. Such funds come through various channels into the hands of banned groups such as the United Jihad Council (UJC), Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Al Badr.

At least 101 persons, including 14 policemen and nine foreigners, were killed and over 300 persons injured in multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai which began on November 26-night and was going on till the reports last came in. Among those killed were chief of the Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS), Hemant Karkare, Additional Commissioner of Police (east Mumbai), Ashok Kamte, and senior police officer Vijay Salaskar. The terrorists, who apparently came in by boats, struck at 10 places in south Mumbai including five-star hotels, hospitals and train stations, according to NDTV. Among the locations attacked were: Trident Hotel, Taj Hotel, Nariman House, Wadi Bunder, Cama hospital, GT hospital, VT station, Bootleggers pub, Girgaum and Metro cinema. There were also reports of a low intensity blast in Ville Parle and grenade attack in Santa Cruz. Two blasts have been reported in the Napean Sea road area of south Mumbai. There is a hostage situation in at least two locations - the Taj and the Trident hotels – when last reports came in. In the Taj Colaba, at least 100 people are believed to be trapped probably held hostage by terrorists. Some of these are Israeli and Canadian nationals. The terrorists reportedly came in by sea from Karachi in Pakistan. A boat laden with explosives was recovered later at night off the Gateway of India. Five suspected terrorists were killed in two separate incidents overnight including two at Girgaum in south Mumbai during a gun battle and two sten guns have been recovered from them, police said. While NSG and Military Commandos have reportedly entered the Taj and Trident hotels, at least 800 Army personnel have been deployed at various locations in Mumbai. "Encounter is on between police and terrorists at Taj and Trident. Our people have surrounded them and the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) team has arrived at the Taj hotel," said the Director General of Police, A. N. Roy. Many foreigners have reportedly been held hostage by the terrorists. "Gunmen took 15 hostages and half of them foreigners," said an eye-witness at the Taj hotel. "Gunmen wanted anyone with British or American passport," said another eye-witness. At least four terrorists were holed up in the Taj Hotel where 40 to 50 guests were still trapped, Major R K Hooda, General Officer Commanding of Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat, said. Speaking to NDTV, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R. R. Patil said, "There is no plan for talks with the terrorists." Claiming to have some "vital leads", he expressed confidence of a breakthrough soon. Intelligence sources said that a foreign hand is fully evident in these attacks. They have also reportedly arrested a Pakistan national from Chowpatty area in the city. Police chief A. N. Roy said, "There is no indication so far of the identity of the terrorists." He said that the terrorists were highly armed, level of weapons and training suggest that they are not locals. An unknown outfit, Deccan Mujahideen, has sent an email to news organizations claiming that it carried out the Mumbai attacks. One of the hidden terrorist inside the Oberoi hotel identified as Sahadullah demanded that all arrested Mujahideen should be released, while giving an interview to an unidentified news channel on November 26, reports Times of India. "There are seven of us inside Hotel Oberoi," and "We want all Mujahideens held in India released and only after that we will release the people… Release all the Mujahideens, and Muslims living in India should not be troubled", Sahadullah said.

Maharashtra Police investigators said that they have evidence that operatives of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) carried out the Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks in Mumbai. An injured militant, identified as Ajmal Amir Kamal, was arrested during the fighting at the Taj Mahal hotel, is suspected to be a LeT cadre and a resident of Faridkot near Multan in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Reportedly two other citizens of Pakistan have also been arrested in Mumbai on November 27. All three of them, identified themselves as members of a LeT Fidayeen squad, the sources said. Based on the interrogation of the suspects, the investigators believe that one or more groups of the LeT left Karachi in a merchant ship early on November 26. On the same night, an estimated 12 terrorists left the ship in a small boat and travelled some 10 nautical miles to reach Mumbai’s Gateway of India. After reaching Gateway of India, the group split up into at least six groups, each focussing on a separate target - Mumbai’s Nariman House, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus rail station, the Cama hospital, the Girgaum seafront, and the Taj and Trident hotels.

Ajmal Amir Kamal confessed that the group had planned to sail out on November 27. Their recruiters had even charted out the return route for them and stored it on the Global Positioning System (GPS) device which they had used to navigate on their way to the Mumbai shoreline. He also confessed that they were all trained in marine warfare along with the special course Daura-e-Shifa conducted by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Ajmal identified his associates as Abu Ali, Fahad, Omar, Shoaib, Umer, Abu Akasha Ismail, Abdul Rahman (Bada) and Abdul Rahman (Chhota), all Pakistani citizens. According to him, on their way from Karachi they killed five fishermen and forcefully captured the trawler Kuber. After reaching Mumbai coast, they split up into five batches. Two of them, Ismail and Ajmal, took a taxi to Victoria Terminus. Three other batches of two each headed for Oberoi Hotel, Cafe Leopold and Nariman House. The remaining four went to Taj Hotel.

On November 28, security forces killed seven militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in two separate gun-battles in the Bandipora and Awantipore areas, Daily Excelsior reported. Official sources said that troops of Rashtriya Rifles and Bandipora Police launched a cordon-and-search operation immediately after receiving specific information regarding the presence of a heavily armed group of Pakistani militants at Gujjar Patti Shogbaba Sahib. During the search operation, an encounter occurred between the holed up militants and SFs that lasted for 15 hours. Sources said that five militants were killed when troops destroyed their hideouts in two residential houses of Lateef Khan and Bashir Khan besides two cowsheds. According to Police, all the five were Pakistani cadres of the LeT. They added that five AK-47 rifles, 13 magazines, cellular phones and a GPS set were recovered from the possession of slain militants. In another incident, troops of the Rashtriya Rifles and Awantipore Police targeted a militant hideout at Punzgam in the Pulwama district and shot dead two LeT militants who were hiding at a house in the neighbourhood.

The only militant arrested during the multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai, identified as Ajmal, revealed during interrogation on November 28 that boats in which they came from Karachi in Pakistan were arranged by an unidentified front man of mafia don Dawood Ibrahim, who runs several custom clearing houses in Mumbai, reports Indian Express. Dawood's gang arranged boats and quickly transferred arms, ammunition and plastic explosives to it, which took the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants for carrying out attacks in Mumbai. Dawood Ibrahim’s gang also provided complete pictures of the Taj hotel, Oberoi-Trident hotel and the Chhabad house in which the Israelis reside. Mumbai Police and central security agencies have launched a massive manhunt for the Colaba-based businessman considered as a henchman of Dawood Ibrahim. The suspect looks after some customs clearing mechanism and also indulges in diesel smuggling for the mafia don, the sources claimed.
