Controller gives guidance to Mumbai attacker

Armed Indian police in Mumbai November 2008

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

Calls made by the attackers who carried out November's Mumbai assaults were intercepted by Indian intelligence officers. The calls show that the attackers were being directed by controllers, who it is claimed were leaders of the extremist group Lashkar e Taiba (LeT).

In this exchange in Hindi, and subtitled in English, one of the gunmen asks his controller where the police are and it is the controller's response that can be heard here.

Watch Newsnight's full report, revealing new audio and CCTV of how the Mumbai attacks unfolded, on BBC Two at 10.30pm on Monday 29 June 2009.
