October 27, 2006 The five accused — Mohd Majid Mohd Shafi, Shaikh Mohd Ali Alam Shaikh, Mohd Sajid Ansari, Abdul Wahid Din Mohd Shaikh and Naveed Hussain Khan — were transferred to judicial custody till November 9 from the custody of ATS. Another accused, Asif Khan Bashir Khan alias Junaid was remanded to Nov 1 for narco-analysis. Police say "The bombs were assembled at Mohammed Ali's residence at Govandi by a specialised team of Pakistani and Indian nationals. Majid facilitated the movement of six Pakistanis who crossed over to India from Bangladesh in 24 Paragnas district of West Bengal." Confessions of four accused — Mohammed Ali, Naved, Sajid and Majid — have been recorded. Sajid Ansari is a mobile expert who helped the Pakistani nationals in assembling the electronic circuits used in the bombs and Naved served as the local guide for the Pakistanis. Junaid, arrested from Belgaum on October 3, handled the entire support system and logistics and was among the masterminds, Raghuvanshi said.

IMO: So we seem to be making progress with 7/11 . Junaid of course is believed to be ISI’s operations chief for India.
