Pakistan announces Mumbai arrests

“Some part of the conspiracy has taken place in Pakistan,” Rehman Malik, the senior security official in the Interior Ministry of Pakistan.

Ya everything but the actual attack.

The Pakistanis haven't released the list/names of those arrested. I doubt they arrested those who arranged the whole attack, just foot soldiers. How will Pakistan punish those it arrested? The same way it punished A.Q. Khan? NY Times

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan acknowledged for the first time in public on Thursday that parts of the murderous Mumbai terror attacks were planned on its soil and said several suspects were being held.

Previously, the Pakistani authorities have said that the only surviving gunman from the 10 who attacked the Indian city last November was of Pakistani origin. Earlier this week, a government report leaked to television networks in Pakistan said at least five of the 10 attackers — who killed 163 people in a rampage through luxury hotels, a Jewish center and other targets — were of Pakistani origin.

Indian officials have insisted that the attacks were supported by what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called “some official agencies in Pakistan.”
Meaning the ISI....
