Pakistan’s top investigative authority — the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Wednesday (November 11, 2020) accepted the presence of eleven terrorists who facilitated the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai on its soil.
Muhammad Amjad Khan of Multan who was involved in the purchase of the boat Al Fouz used in the 2008 terror attack has been listed in the 880-page long list. Amjad also purchased a Yamaha MotoR boat engine, life jackets, inflatable boats from ARZ water sport, Karachi, and later used in the attacks on India’s financial center.
