Mumbai terrorist ask for Pakistan help

CNN:

The only surviving suspect in last month's attacks in Mumbai has written a letter to the Pakistan High Commission, or embassy, seeking legal aid, CNN's sister network in India reported Saturday, quoting a Mumbai police official.

Investigators said that Mohammad Ajmal Kasab is from Faridkot village in the Okara district of Pakistan's Punjab province and that the other nine attackers also are from Pakistan. Pakistani officials have denied that assertion, blaming instead "stateless actors."

Rakesh Maria, Mumbai's joint police commissioner of crime, said Saturday that Kasab's three-page letter was written in Urdu. In the letter, Kasab confesses his role in the attacks, CNN-IBN said.

The letter is to be delivered to the commission's New Delhi, India, office, possibly Monday, the network reported.

...


That does not appear to be a martyr like letter. It also undercuts the position of some in Pakistan that their guys had noting to do with the attack. I think it will be an unwelcome letter. If Pakistan is wise it can make clear that it does not support the kind of conduct this guy engaged in and finds it indefensible.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
