Minister Quits Over Mumbai Intel Failures
December 01, 2008

India's interior minister resigned on Sunday as anger grew over intelligence failures leading up to the devastating attacks on Mumbai and the government mulled suspending a peace process with Pakistan.

Home Minister Shivraj Patil said he took "moral responsibility" for the assault by heavily armed Islamic militants, which left at least 172 people dead and transformed parts of Mumbai into a war zone for three days.

India's powerful national security adviser MK Narayanan also submitted his resignation, officials said, but it was not clear if it had been accepted.

The Indian government has pointed the finger at "elements in Pakistan", and security sources say they believe most if not all the highly trained gunmen were Pakistani.

The future of the nuclear-armed neighbours' peace process now appears in doubt.
