In what is widely seen in police circles as an attempt to deflect attention and derail ongoing investigations into the 26/11 terror attacks, Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has named Hamad Amin Sadiq as the main conspirator in the Mumbai attacks.
The police, who have named Hafiz Saeed, Zaki Lakhvi, Abu Hamza, Abu Al Kam and Abu Kaahafa as the main conspirators, say Sadiq is small fry who arranged flats for the terrorists at Mirpur Sakro in Sindh before they left for Mumbai.
"He is not the main conspirator," said Rakesh Maria, joint commissioner of police (Crime). Pakistan's media traced the house arranged by Sadiq in Mirpur Sakro, about 160 km from the Gujarat coast.
