ISI is also suspected of playing a role in the Mumbai massacres in India last November. Two important reports: The Telegraph UK reports: The Times of India quoted sources close to the investigation claiming arrested mutineers had named a senior a Bangladeshi businessman and politician believed to have close links with Pakistan's intelligence service. It was also reported that confession statements suggested the mutineers had received around £100,000 to bankroll their revolt. Full Report from The Telegraph UK...
