Mumbai confession 'was coerced'

The leading suspect in the Mumbai (Bombay) attacks trial has retracted his confession.

The lawyer for the sole surviving suspected gunman, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab, said it was extracted through coercion and force.

Prosecutor Ujwal Nikam said this was a conspiracy hatched in Pakistan to wage war on India.

May I start with this one? Looking in to this last year, the D-company theory was the one that spooked me the most ... Was Dawood Ibrahim involved in the Mumbai attacks? If yes, on whose behalf? ISI? or ISI's shadow daddies? Is there a tie between Dawoods Mumbai D-company and the recent surge of piracy, as has been rumored by the fringe?
