FBI interrogated Fahim and Sabbauddin, alleges counsel

Mumbai, Feb 26 (PTI) Fahim Ansari and Sabbauddin, accused
in November 26 Mumbai terror attacks, were interrogated by US
investigation agency FBI, their lawyer Wednesday alleged at
the magistrate's court here.

The police Wednesday filed chargesheet against Fahim,
Sabbauddin and Ajmal Amir Kasab in Mumbai terror attack case.

Ejaz Naqvi, counsel of Fahim Ansari and Sabbauddin,
alleged before the magistrate that officers of Los Angeles
Rapid Force and FBI were camping in India and had interrogated
his clients on several occasions.

He maintained that both Fahim and Sabbauddin were
arrested by UP police in connection with an attack on CRPF
camp in February 2008 in Rampur and since then they are in
custody.

He denied that Fahim and Sabbauddin were involved in
November 26 attacks in any way.

He also alleged that Mumbai ATS had interrogated both
of his clients much before the November 26 attacks.

The Mumbai police claimed in the present chargesheet that
these two accused surveyed the vital spots in Mumbai and made
maps which were used in carrying out terror attacks in Mumbai.

But Naqvi said that ATS had already recorded Fahim's
statement in this regard, therefore it should have had advance
warning of 26/11 conspiracy.

Naqvi told the magistrate that maps allegedly made by
Fahim and Sabbauddin are openly available in the market. PTI
