Mumbai Terror Plot Begins to Take Shape

It sure is a tangled mess that the Indians, FBI and Scotland Yard needs to sift through.

The surviving gunman, Ajmal Amir Kasab, 21, told interrogators he had been sent by the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba and identified two of the plot's masterminds, according to two Indian government officials familiar with the inquiry.

Kasab told police that one of them, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Lashkar's operations chief, recruited him for the attack, and the assailants called another senior leader, Yusuf Muzammil, on a satellite phone after hijacking an Indian vessel en route to Mumbai.

I am just wondering if any of these guys have some ties to Al-Quida and its various offshoots?
