Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon has accused that Pakistan's spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is involved in the Mumbai terrorist attacks, the first time the government of India specifically pointing fingers at it since the three-day carnage in November killed nearly 200 people.
"The perpetrators planned, trained and launched their attacks from Pakistan, and the organizers were and remain clients and creations of the ISI," Menon said while addressing a foreign affairs conference in Paris Wednesday.
An official statement Thursday by India's foreign ministry quoted Menon as saying, "Two months after the Mumbai attacks, and one month after we presented a dossier of evidence linking the attacks to elements in Pakistan, we still await a response from the Pakistani authorities, and fabrication continues."
Menon compared the sale of arms to Pakistan by the U.S. and others in the name of fight against terrorism to giving "whisky to an alcoholic, a drug reinforcing an addiction."
