Three persons have been named in the FIR lodged under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The FIR number is 01/2009 and it was lodged in the Special Investigating Unit in Samba.
Hamad Ameen Sadiq, who facilitated money transfer for the terrorist attack in Mumbai and is the main operative, has also been arrested.

Some bank details too have been zeroed in on. FIA has been able to get the hideout in Karachi and the nearby areas.

Rehman appeased the Indians saying, “People of India, we are with you and with the international community who are against terror attacks. However, we will be requesting some additional response from the Indian Government to strengthen our prosecution.”

Pakistani national Javed Iqbal, who acquired the VoIP phones for Mumbai attackers in Spain, has also been arrested. Rehman even confirmed that the terrorists had bought five SIM cards.

In brief

There are three vital leads in the case - Hamid, the shop from where the boat engine was bought and the bank from where they financed their conspiracy.
