Mumbai: Underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, who is hiding in Pakistan, may be involved in organising the attack on Mumbai, claimed Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad sources.
The sources said that the terrorists, who attacked and took hostages at three places in Mumbai, included two UK-born Pakistanis while one of them was a Yemeni national.
They also added that the terrorists were heavily drugged and were using Blackberry to communicate.
The information was gathered by the investigating agencies following the interrogation of 21-year-old terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab, a resident of Faridkot, Multan in Pakistan.
Kasab who was captured on Wednesday revealed that the group numbering 12 travelled from Rawalpindi to Karachi and them from Karachi to Mumbai.
The port from which they had boarded is controlled by Dawood. Sources said that all the terrorists trained and brainwashed in Pakistan.
Kamal's blood and urine test showed that he was under the influence of drugs, which reportedly helped the terrorists sustain themselves during the attacks by the security forces.
All the terrorists had also been instructed to kill till their death.
One group of terrorists had also done a recce of the targets that they planned to attack about four months ago.
All the terrorists were trained at Mangla Dam near Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. They also underwent marine training.
All terrorists were shown and given digital maps of Mumbai.
The sources also added that the terrorists travelled in two groups. While one group got off their boat at Sassoon Docks, another group landed at Badhwar Park near Gateway of India.

They shot at whatever moved: Eyewitness-NDTV
Shocked, their voices trembling, French witnesses gave harrowing accounts on Friday of hiding under restaurant tables and running from explosions as India's financial hub Mumbai came under attack.Johana, a 24-year-old tourist travelling with her cousin, was having dinner at the Leopold restaurant in Mumbai's Colaba tourist district when she spotted several young men with large rucksacks slung over their shoulders."They took weapons out of their sacks, lobbed three grenades and began shooting at anything that moved with their automatic weapons. There were several dead," Johana said at a Paris airport soon after her arrival.The tourist, who declined to give her full name, described the assailants as young men whose faces were not covered and "looked Indian"."People ran out of the restaurant while others, like us, hid under the tables. Some found refuge in the kitchens and they didn't make it," she recounted, her voice shaking.After ten minutes of gunfire, the two terrified young tourists left the restaurant and ventured out into streets that were crowded with people looking for cover.They heard several explosions coming from the direction of the Taj Mahal, one of two luxury hotels targeted by Islamist militants in a string of attacks that left several people dead.French businessman Gilles Andrier said he was seated at a table with 15 financial analysts at the restaurant of the five-star Oberoi/Trident hotel when the violence erupted.
