Summary 
 
------- 
 
1. (C) Three local Muslims and four Pakistanis planted the bombs 
that killed 187 persons on seven Mumbai commuter trains in July, 
the Mumbai police chief told the Consul General on September 26. 
 A.N. Roy said the police had detained two of the local men who 
had planted bombs.  One of the two men had given interrogators 
names and background information on the other suspects, Roy 
said.  The police now believe that one of the suspects was 
killed by the bomb he planted; his remains were those of the 
last bombing victim that had yet to be identified, Roy added. 
The other suspects had probably fled to Pakistan via Bangladesh 
or by crossing the long common border in Rajasthan.  The bombers 
used pressure cookers or umbrellas to hide the devices and to 
divert attention from themselves, Roy said.  Roy dismissed media 
reports linking the bombers to Al-Qaida, and said police would 
go public with the information on the bombers once they had 
"tied up loose ends" in the investigation.  The news that local 
Muslims not only provided logistical support, but also planted 
some of the bombs that killed Mumbai commuters at the height of 
the evening rush hour, may well damage the city's notable 
communal harmony that the bombings failed to disrupt and shed 
new light on the extent and capability of extremist elements in 
the city's large and diverse Muslim community.  End summary. 
 
Four Pakistanis, Three Local Muslims Planted The Bombs 
 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
 
2. (C) Mumbai Police Commissioner A.N. Roy told the Consul 
General on September 26 that investigators have identified the 
individuals who placed the bombs in the seven commuter trains on 
July 11.  The seven near simultaneous explosions killed 187 
persons and injured hundreds more at the height of the evening 
rush hour. 
 
3. (C) Roy said four of the bombers were Pakistanis and three 
were Indian citizens from the Mumbai area.  Police now believe 
that one of the four Pakistanis did not survive the attack, and 
is the one remaining victim of the explosions whose remains have 
yet to be identified.  The three other Pakistani bombers had 
fled India, Roy said, as had an additional Pakistan national who 
police believe had assembled the bombs.   Two of the three 
Indian bombers were in police custody; one of those detained was 
now providing investigators with the names and background of the 
other bombers, Roy told the CG. (Note: Police have arrested 
about a dozen Muslim men from Mumbai and Bihar in connection 
with the bombings.  Until now, the men have been charged for 
their alleged affiliation to the outlawed groups that police 
believe perpetrated the attacks, but not for any crime directly 
linked to the bombings themselves.  End note.) 
 
4. (C) Roy said investigators believe that the Pakistani bombers 
fled the country either via Bangladesh or through Rajasthan and 
the long common border with Pakistan.  Police suspected that the 
third Indian national had escaped with the Pakistanis.  He also 
did not comment on media reports earlier in the week that the 
bombers hid in the predominantly Muslim town of Buranpur in 
Madhya Pradesh in the days following the bombings before 
escaping the country.  Roy did not share any names with the 
Consul General, nor did he confirm whether the media had 
accurately identified the seven men in recent reports. 
 
The Pakistan Nexus 
 
MUMBAI 00001755  002 OF 003 
 
 
 
------------------ 
 
5. (C) At least one of the Indian nationals now in custody had 
received training at a terror camp in Pakistan, Roy claimed. 
The man traveled to Pakistan via Saudi Arabia and Iran, and 
crossed the Iran/Pakistan land border into the western Pakistan 
region of Baluchistan.  He told investigators he received 
training at a camp in Bahawalpur in Pakistani Punjab, and 
mentioned training camps in Quetta and Karachi as well.  He 
returned to Saudi Arabia via the same route.  Once in Saudi 
Arabia, his terrorist masters destroyed his passport to cover 
his trail, Roy said.  Saudi immigration authorities expelled him 
after declaring him a stateless person, and he was able to 
return to India, Roy added. 
 
6. (C) Roy said investigators are convinced that Lashkar-e-Taiba 
(LeT) was behind the attacks.  The banned Students' Islamic 
Movement of India likely played a role as well.  Roy said the 
sophistication of the planning and execution and the technical 
quality of the bombs pointed to the involvement of Pakistan's 
Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), but he added that 
police had yet to conclusively link the organization to the 
bombings.   Investigators were convinced that numerous LeT 
sleeper cells continued to exist in western India, he said. 
Police would be on high-alert during the coming Diwali 
celebrations (the week of October 23-27) as they feared that LeT 
groups may plan further attacks. 
 
Bombs Hidden in Pressure Cookers, Umbrellas 
 
------------------------------------------- 
 
7. (C) The perpetrators had smuggled 15-20 kilograms of RDX into 
the country, an amount sufficient for the seven bombs, Roy said. 
 Investigators now believed that at least three of the bombs, a 
mixture of RDX and ammonium nitrate, were contained in pressure 
cookers and placed in zipped bags that are commonly used by 
commuters to carry their lunches, Roy said.  Two other bombs 
were probably contained in umbrellas.  The packing was likely 
meant to divert attention away from the bombers carrying 
packages onto the crowded trains at the height of the rush hour, 
Roy said.  The investigation has been hampered by the fact that 
the bombs had left almost no traces.  Unlike other recent 
bombing incidents, where individual devices that had failed to 
detonate gave investigators useful leads, the seven bombs all 
exploded fully and made the investigation more difficult, he 
said.  Roy did not comment on media reports that police now 
believed that the Mumbai bombings were linked to terror attacks 
in New Delhi in October, 2005, and Varanasi in March, where 
pressure cookers had also been used. 
 
No link to Al-Qaida, 9/11 
 
------------------------- 
 
8. (C) Roy denied recent press reports that police had linked 
the Mumbai train bombings to Al-Qaida, and that some of those 
involved in the July 11 bombings had trained with Mohammad Atta 
in Pakistan in 2000.  "About 99.9 percent" of what the press 
reported on the investigation was inaccurate, Roy said.  The 
police did not publicly comment on press reports, he added, 
because they did not want to divulge information while the 
investigation was still underway. 
 
Malegaon Bombing Update 
 
----------------------- 
 
9. (C) Roy said the police were following numerous leads in the 
September 8 bombings in the western Indian city of Malegaon 
(reftel) that killed 37 persons.  The CG asked whether the 
police believed that Hindu extremist groups carried out the 
 
MUMBAI 00001755  003 OF 003 
 
 
bombings, as the bombings apparently targeted large numbers of 
Muslims that had congregated near a mosque and a cemetery after 
Friday prayers on the eve of an important Muslim holy night. 
Roy said that while investigators had not ruled out that 
possibility, he was skeptical whether the known Hindu extremist 
groups had the capability to execute such an attack.  In 
addition, non-Muslims would have found it difficult to penetrate 
the heavily Muslim areas around the bomb sites without 
attracting attention to themselves, he said. 
 
Comment 
 
------- 
 
10. (C) Roy told the CG that the police would probably go public 
with their most recent findings once they had "tied up a few 
more loose ends" in the investigation.  Thanks to intensive 
media coverage and speculation, it will be no surprise when the 
police announce that Pakistan nationals planted four of the 
seven bombs.  It will be news, however, when they claim that 
local Muslims planted three of the devices.  Until now, it was 
commonly believed -- or perhaps just hoped -- that local Muslims 
were not involved in the actual execution of the attacks, but at 
worst provided only local logistical support and may have not 
even been aware of the actual goal of the operation.  As Roy's 
comments demonstrate, however, the police now are confident that 
local Muslims did play a direct, hands-on role in the killing of 
187 Mumbai commuters.  Since July 11 Mumbai has praised itself 
in op-ed commentaries, political speeches and everyday discourse 
for the city's sober and unemotional reaction to the bombings. 
That balanced view is bound to change once it becomes public 
knowledge that local Muslims are also responsible for the 
bloodshed.  We do not expect communal unrest once the news 
becomes public, but the knowledge will no doubt cause many 
otherwise sober observers to rethink their assessment of the 
extent and capability of extremist elements in the city's large 
and diverse Muslim community.  End comment.
