Pakistan Admits Mumbai Attack Plot; Prosecutes 8

Pakistan's interior minister conceded today that last year's Mumbai attacks were at least partly planned in his country, reports the BBC. At a news conference, Rehman Malik said he had begun legal proceedings against eight suspects, two of whom remain at large. While the minister admitted that "some part of the conspiracy has taken place in Pakistan," the government steadfastly denied suggestions from India that "state elements" may have been involved.
