Seven Mumbai gunmen are from 'Leeds and Hartlepool'

Seven of the terrorists who brought carnage to Mumbai are British, Indian government sources claimed yesterday.

They said two British-born Pakistanis are under arrest. And another five suspects are said to have been born and raised here.

Two of the seven are from Leeds, one is from Bradford and one from Hartlepool, the sources claimed. All are aged between 20 and 26.

The claims were made as the death toll in Mumbai reached 155 – with predictions it could go as high as 200.

The Hartlepool suspect was allegedly found in the five-star Taj Mahal Palace hotel, scene of some of the most horrific killings. The man from Bradford and one from Leeds were allegedly discovered on the 17th floor of the Oberoi-Trident Hotel.

A second man from Leeds was allegedly captured near a jetty after a gang of around 25 terrorists landed in Mumbai by boat on Wednesday.

The suspects were allegedly found with documentation, possibly including passports, which revealed their origin.

The sources say they also spoke to each other in a heavily-accented Punjabi common in UK Pakistani communities. Gordon Brown yesterday urged caution saying it was “premature” to draw any conclusions.

He said Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had not told of him of “any evidence at this stage” that Britons were behind the massacres.

It seems no one can blame the PTB for not trying to make the most out of every situation they create! :/

And having some Muslims who were born and raised in Britain taking part in such events can become another "argument" for more religious fear mongering and social division in England and the other western countries. Because if that "association" (Muslim=potential terrorist regardless of nationality) was not needed or wished for, i think the brains behind this attack could have easily excluded these British Muslims from participating... But probably that was not the point they were trying to make...OSIT.

Yeah, Gordon Brown said it was "premature" to draw any conclusions, but who wants conclusions anyway? Simply promoting impressions is just as powerful sometimes...
