LeT (Lashkar e Tayyaba) sought negotiation for Kasab release during Mumbai attack

CHICAGO: The Pakistani handlers of the LeT men who attacked Mumbai wanted to obtain the release of captured gunman Ajmal Amir Kasab in exchange for the hostages held by the terrorists, an indictment chargesheet for two suspects has said.

A US federal grand jury in its 12-count indictment against terror suspects Tahawwur Hussein Rana and David Coleman Headley gave extensive details of the planning of the Mumbai attack and how Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders guided their men during the four-day siege beginning November 26, 2008.

Pakistani-origin Chicago resident Rana was indicted by the jury here along with American citizen Headley on charges of preparing the groundwork and providing material support for the LeT to carry out the Mumbai terror attack.

During the course of the attacks, the gunmen were in telephonic contact with three LeT leaders - identified as Members A, B and C -- all of whom were located in Pakistan.

And yet, we keep supporting Pakistan with clear evidence that the Pakistani government is the source of 90% of the terror around the world and uses terror as its official state policy.

On Edit:

From a related story http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/LeT-gave-Headley-28000-for-Mumbai-terror-preparation/articleshow/5448151.cms

"US authorities have refrained from naming LeT Member A and other Pakistani associates in the plot in order not to embarrass Islamabad, which is widely seen here as patron of terrorism in all but formal designation. Washington apparently needs Pakistani cooperation, and a toe-hold in Islamabad, to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism there."

It is really time to embarrass Islamabad and expose Pakistan for what it is.
