Secret police comb Mumbai for clues
MUMBAI – The audacious nature of the attacks and the manner in which they were executed has made Mumbai’s terror sites the learning ground for security and police agencies across the globe.
The Times of India says that even before Maharashtra police visited Leopold Cafe, the popular watering hole where the terror attacks started, a secret Australian service police agency was there.
Owner of the Colaba cafe Farhang Jehani confirmed that a police agency from Australia questioned him about Wednesday night’s attacks and examined the site.
“We are from the Australian secret police service, but we are not permitted to talk to the media,” one of the members of the team told TOI when asked about the purpose of the visit.
Two Australian nationals were among those killed in the attacks.
According to sources in a consulate, the nature of the attacks — using youths to storm five-star hotels — was a reason for governments across the world to send teams to probe and understand the unique “signature trail” left behind by the terrorists.
Apart from the Australians, the city played host to a seven-member team of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) which spent time in discussions with the director general of police, the city police commissioner and other senior officials of the crime branch.
Israeli security agencies were also busy in the city this week, speaking with senior police officials.
Among foreigners slain in the attack, a large number were Israelis — five of them were killed at Nariman House and four others were shot dead at Taj and Oberoi hotels.
