Mumbai, India : A seven-member team of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a team from the Scotland Yard of UK, which have arrived in the city, started their assessment of the Mumbai terror attack and met senior police officials on Monday.
The teams arrived in the city on Sunday to probe the terror attacks in which at least 15 foreign nationals were killed and over 20 injured. The total death toll in the terror attacks is presently been stated as 173.
There are reports that an Australian investigation team also is in Mumbai.
“There was a co-ordination meeting between the DGP, Mumbai Commissioner of Police, Commissioner (Intelligence), Additional Director General (Law and Order) and others,” Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said.
The meeting was held to discuss the issue of the terror strikes and to exchange information, he said.
The FBI team is in the process of examining evidence and remnants of explosives gathered from the targeted places and the methodology used by the militants, official sources said.
FBI would be investigating the case from their side as six American nationals were killed in three-day long encounters that shook Mumbai.
It was not immediately clear whether the FBI had also registered a case in the matter as they had done in the IC-814 hijacking case of Indian airlines plane which carried a US national – Jennie Moorie.
