US officials look for Mumbai clues

US intelligence officials are searching urgently for clues that might identify the Mumbai attackers and ease tensions between India and Pakistan.

FBI agents are in India to investigate the attacks in Mumbai that killed at least 195 people, including six Americans.

The US State Department has warned citizens still in India's financial capital that their lives remain at risk.

A US counter-terrorism official has already deduced that some signatures of the attack were consistent with the work of Pakistani militant groups Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed and reported to be linked to al Qaeda.

But the official emphasised it was premature to pinpoint who was responsible for the attacks.

Another official, specialising in counterintelligence, also cautioned against rushing to judgment on the origins of the gunmen who waged a two-and-a-half-day rampage through India's leading commercial center before being killed.

The US officials spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.

US officials are concerned about a flare-up in animosity similar to one that occurred after Pakistani militants attacked the Indian parliament in December 2001, the officials said.

Underscoring those fears, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has called the Foreign Minister of India twice, along with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, since the crisis began.

President George W. Bush has pledged cooperation with Indian authorities and has been receiving regular updates.

Excellent. And, Thank you. Yes, I accept the suicide missions and I accept them without any reverse thinking, whatever you may or may not think of the mujahideen, suicide missions have always been a part of warfare. We are guerrilla.

I accept from virtually every country in the world and cover myself too.

Dissolve this rogue Pakistani State.

What clue & blue? U.S. knows very well that it`s Pakistanis who are
killing NATO/Isaf forces in India and Afghanistan. Pakistan, the black-malilers, have threatened to move their forces to the eastern borders and their
kids - Talibans - shall face the attacks from the western borders.
ISI is fighting in the name of Talibans to convert Pakistan into a Talibani
State......Hurry Up! control the Atom-bombs of Pakistan and
then .....Afghanistan and India should punish Pakistan till their arms
and legs are broken...dissolve this rogue State.
