India today said that the interrogation of Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, suspected to be one of the handlers of the 26/11 terrorists, had confirmed its suspicion that “state actors” in Pakistan had played a role in the Mumbai attacks. But Pakistan immediately contested the claim, and praised the role of its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) — which New Delhi suspects of having engineered the attacks — in the fight against terror.
