'Jundal ID nails Pak participation in 26/11'

India has decided to up the ante on Lashkar-e-Toiba operative Abu Jundal in the talks with Pakistan.

According to Ministry of Home Affairs officials, India has decided to share a copy of Jundal's passport and identity card with the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan. A dossier on the 26/11 attacks handler will be given by India to Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani during the talks on Wednesday.

This came hours after Jundal's passport revealed his present and permanent address in Pakistan, making India's claim of Pakistani hand in the 2008 Mumbai attacks stronger. India has cited details of Jundal's passport to buttress its claims that he enjoyed the support of Pakistanis state institutions. Jundal's Paksitani passport which he had used to travel to Saudi Arabia and has also learnt that a Pakistani ID card was issued to him in the name of Riyasat Ali while he was staying in Pakistan.

The passport spells out his present and permanent address in Pakistan as Muridke near Lahore. His visa for Saudi Arabia had been issued on the Pakistani passport. However, Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik had called Jundal's passport fake.

Earlier, sources say Jundal was planning to attack the Nashik Police Academy in Maharashtra. Abu Jundal was preparing a plan to launch a major attack on the police academy following the successful strike on the Lahore Police Academy in Pakistan allegedly by the Taliban on March 30, 2009.

Jundal and his associates in Pakistan studied the Lahore Police Academy attack and then decide to stage a similar attack in India. The plan was to wear police uniforms and infiltrate the Nashik Police Academy.

Sources say the planning was still on but suffered a setback after the arrests in the Pune German Bakery blast case in February 2010. But, Jundal has allegedly confessed that the plans were still on even when he was deported from Saudi Arabia and arrested by the Delhi Police upon his arrival at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on June 21.
