The Mumbai Police crime branch has identified two non-resident Indians (NRIs) as having provided part of the funds that sustained the operations of the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Both NRIs had bank accounts in the Gulf and these were being used to channel funds to IM members in Mumbai, the police said. The police have frozen both accounts and issued lookout notices against the two NRIs. The crime branch said the NRIs opened accounts in a nationalised bank about a decade ago, and absconding IM operative Riyaz Bhatkal kept withdrawing small amounts regularly in the city for terror operations. The police have identified six other accounts which were allegedly used by IM operatives. "Of the eight accounts under our scanner, two are in the name of NRIs in the Gulf. These two accounts were opened in a nationalised bank in the late ‘90s, and small amounts of money were deposited and withdrawn from them regularly by Bhatkal in the city. The amounts ranged from INR 5,000 to INR 50,000 at a time. A total of INR 27 lakh was in the accounts when we froze both on October 4; we issued the lookout notices a day later," said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria. The Crime Branch has also seized a cheque for INR 1 lakh in the name of Bhatkal from one of the arrested. "Riyaz Bhatkal had been given signed blank cheques for the purpose of withdrawing money from both accounts whenever he wanted. We have seized one such cheque for Rs 1 lakh issued in Bhatkal’s name from one of the other arrested accused," Maria added.

An arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadre from Mumbai confessed to the Ahmedabad police while interrogation on November 16 that terrorist attacks in Indian cities are financed though hawala (informal money transfer system) transfer from abroad, reports Times of India. Amir Raza Khan, brother of Asif Raza Khan, played a key role in the hawala racket that secured funding from individuals and institutions for jihadi activities in India. According to one estimate, various institutions in India have got around INR three crore over a period of one-and-a-half years. "These funds are still lying unutilised and could trigger a future terror attack," said an unnamed police official. Amir and Mohammed Sadiq Shaikh were reportedly given responsibility for the collection of funds for India operations.

The prime accused in the July 11, 2006 serial bomb blasts in local trains in Mumbai, identified as Rahil Abdul Rehman Sheikh, was arrested by United Kingdom (UK) authorities on November 23, from an unidentified place in UK, reports The Hindu. The Interpol had issued a red corner notice seeking Sheikh’s arrest in May 2007. Rahil Abdul Rehman Sheikh was a resident of Mumbai’s Grant Road area and was reportedly hiding in Pakistan after the serial blasts, which claimed 185 lives. He became one of the top Indian operatives of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), through the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), which he joined in 1999. "When we receive a formal notification of Mr. Sheikh’s arrest from our counterparts in the United Kingdom," said a Central Bureau of Investigation official.

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.
