NEW DELHI: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on Saturday said that while Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's acceptance of Pak terror group's involvement in 2008 Mumbai terror attacks is good but the international community already knew who did it.
Army chief's response came following Pakistan PM Khan on Friday acknowledged that the 2008 Mumbai terror attack was perpetrated by Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
"We know who did it. I don't think we have to get anymore statement from anybody. International community knows who did it.Acceptance is good but even without it, we knew who had done it," said the Indian army chief.
In his first interview to foreign media, PM Khan had said that he has asked his government to find out the status of the case.
"Resolving that case is in our interest because it was an act of terrorism," the Pak PM had said.
Mumbai was hit by deadly terror attacks on November 26, 2008, when a group of 10 terrorists reached its shores in a boat named Kuber and showered bullets at multiple locations. The carnage ended after three days and one of the attackers, a Pakistani terrorist named Kasab, was caught alive and later prosecuted under Indian law.
