Watson quoted an exchange translated from the tape:
Terrorist in Nariman House: “Is there anyone in our building?”
Terrorist controller: “Look at the terrace at the back; the police are there. There’s a building under construction, they’re on top of that building and there’s a lot of police on the main road. You know the Merchant House? They’re sitting behind the protruding rear wall and firing shells. You talk to them and God willing, they’ll leave.”
Watson countered the Mumbai Police view that the terrorist leaders were able to pinpoint precise police positions by carefully monitoring live Indian television coverage of the attacks.
According to the BBC, the view was rejected by Additional Commissioner of Police Deven Bharti, who, asked if there were logisticians who were yet to be caught said: “No, I don’t think so.” Bharti said “this investigation has reached a logical conclusion and we have verified and cross-checked each and every fact available to us. This was a totally independent module of 10 terrorists who were launched from the territorial limits of Pakistan like a commando group.”
