Mumbai police seeks Abu Jindal's custody


New Delhi, June 26 — The Mumbai police Tuesday moved an application in a Delhi court seeking the keeping of Abu Jindal alias Zabiuddin Ansari, a key suspect in the 26/11 Mumbai horror attack.

Jindal, an Indian mastermind of the attacks and an alleged member of the Indian Mujahideen collection, was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here June 21 after his banishment from Saudi Arabia.

The court has directed the Delhi police to file a reply on the claim by June 27.

Jindal was one of 6 people who were holed up in a "control room" in Karachi and directing the audacious Mumbai assault by 10 Pakistani terrorists in November 2008. The bloodshed left 166 people dead.

He was one of those who were heard on radio intercept directing the terrorists to their targets in Mumbai and telling them who to slay. He had trained the killers to talk Hindi.
