Karachi satphone, Sims from Vienna, New Jersey

Investigation into the Mumbai Terror attacks is acquiring the dimensions of an international probe with trails being tracked in several countries besides Pakistan after evidence that the terrorists used a Thuraya satellite phone bought in Karachi and two SIM cards issued in Vienna, Austria, and New Jersey in the United States.

Top sources have confirmed to The Indian Express that this has drawn in investigators from several countries who are assisting Indian agencies to piece together the complex jigsaw of the terror plot.

The Thuraya satellite phone, located on the Kuber, the fishing trawler used by the terrorists in their journey to Mumbai, has been tracked to a distributor in Karachi. Now efforts are on in Dubai, where the Thuraya company is based, to locate who sold the set to the distributor.
