Pakistan Spy Agency Accused in Train Blast
The police officer leading the investigation of train bombings in July that killed more than 200 people in Mumbai accused Pakistan’s spy agency of masterminding the attack.
Tariq Azim Khan, Pakistan’s minister of state for information, denied the claim, calling it “sad and unfortunate.”
Mumbai police Commissioner A.N. Roy said an intensive investigation that included using truth serum in the interrogation of suspects revealed that Pakistan’s top spy agency was behind the bombings. Roy said the Inter-Services Intelligence agency began planning the attacks in March and provided training to those who carried out the bombings.
