NEW DELHI: It has been 17 years since the horrific Mumbai 26/11 attack that claimed over 160 lives, in probably one of the most audacious onslaughts that the country witnessed and one which brought the city that never sleeps to a standstill for nearly 48 hours when ten terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Taiba created havoc and mayhem through it.
17 years later, the investigators have managed to solve many mysteries attached to the attack.
However, there are still a lot of unanswered questions, and the two most important ones are relating to the local angle and the identity of the mysterious Sajid Mir.
Uncovering Mir’s real identity has always remained a challenge for the security agencies.
In fact, Mir played the most important role in the attack. Prior to the attacks, he had first visited India as a cricket fan. Officials say that it was during that visit that he identified the targets that were to be hit.
