According to police documents obtained by The Times, the ten Islamist militants who rampaged through Mumbai spoke to their handlers in Pakistan during the attacks via mobile phones connected to Callphonex, an internet telephony provider based in New Jersey. The militants’ Callphonex account was set up by an individual who identified himself as Kharak Singh, using the e-mail account kharak_telco@ yahoo.com.

Police claim that this e-mail account was accessed from ten different unique internet locations – or IP addresses – including one used by Col Ullah.

In the mammoth 11,000-page charge sheet filed by police against Kasab, the colonel’s physical address is given as Qasim Road, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, which is the headquarters of the SCO.
