Advani echoes Modi's line, hints at local link to 26/11

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's statement on local support in the Mumbai terror attacks on Tuesday found support in senior BJP leader L K Advani.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, the Leader of the Opposition and the BJP's prime ministerial candidate questioned the Mumbai police chief ruling out 'local links' in Mumbai terror attacks.

"It is clear that the planning happened for a year and they visited the places they attacked on November 26. It is not possible that there are no local links in 26/11," said said L K Advani, Leader of Opposition.

"It is a well-planned conspiracy. I was also surprised to hear the Mumbai police chief's comment that all 26/11 terrorists are accounted for, that they are either dead or in custody. And there is no local link. How can they give that certificate?' added Advani.

The Congress had condemned the remarks as anti-national and one that toed Pakistan's line.
