MUMBAI: Admitting for the first time that there was local support for the Mumbai terror attack, Police Commissioner Hasan Gafoor tonight said some Indian nationals were among the 16 men that also included Pakistanis who were wanted for their role in the carnage.

Gafoor also said that two Indians have already been arrested.

"Fourteen to sixteen men, which includes Indians and Pakistanis, are wanted in the attacks," Gafoor told reporters here.

"We have included names of these men in the dossier which has been sent to Pakistan," Gafoor said.

Those wanted in the attacks had conducted 'recce', given financial and logistical support and "they belonged to North India", Gafoor said.

"Two Indians have already been arrested while some are absconding about whom we have informed to Pakistan. So there are Indians as well as Pakistanis."

Asked why names of Indians have been mentioned in the dossier, Gafoor said they likely escaped from India, and "we suspect that they might be hiding in Pakistan".
