Pakistan may have finally admitted to the role of their men in 26/11 on the Taj Hotel, but TIMES NOW has accessed fresh evidence that indicates a new Mumbai attack has been planned. The Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) to the Mumbai police suggests that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Indian Mujahideen are already preparing for the next assault- on behalf of Inter-Services Intelligence, the largest intelligence service in Pakistan. TIMES NOW has accessed the ATS' warning delivered to the Mumbai Police which clearly mentions that the ISI has ordered the LeT to begin fresh recruitment and training of terrorists. The LeT in turn contacting the Indian Mujahideen- the Indian front of the terrorist organisation responsible for at least 3 bombings in the country last year. In the letter- dated July 6-2009, the ATS has briefed Deputy Commissioner of the Special branch of Mumbai Police about the ISI's new plan. The ISI has directed LeT to start recruiting young Muslims from India and convince them to undergo training in terror camps in Pakistan. This alert is on the basis of the intercepts of emails between 11 key Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, who are currently absconding. Singh goes on to convey that it is very likely that the absconding IM operatives are in Maharashtra.
