Nawaz Sharif made the admission only days after the attack, and at that time Pakistani government was refusing to admit responsibility of this attack.India Today - Breaking News from India, World, Business and Politics
Sharif hinted at Pak hand in 26/11: WikiLeaks
**Nawaz Sharif ‘made’ the admission to US senators John McCain & Lindsey Graham on December 6, 2008.
Former Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif had admitted to a US diplomat the involvement of his countrymen in 26/11 within days of the attack. All this time, the Pakistani government was refusing to admit the role of its nationals in the Mumbai strike. It finally agreed that part of the attack was plotted in the country when India served it the first 26/11 dossier in January 2009.**
**Less than a fortnight after the attack, Sharif told visiting US senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham (on December 6, 2008) that he was convinced Pakistanis were involved in the attack and that he would push for strict action against the extremists, a leaked US embassy cable made public by WikiLeaks has revealed.

According to the cable, Sharif pointed out that he had concluded the Lahore Declaration in 1999 with then Indian PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and that the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) had refrained from making India a political issue.
“Sharif told John McCain and Lindsey Graham on December 6 that his party had acted responsibly with the ruling Pakistan People’s Party to fight terrorism,” read the cable sent by acting principal officer Clinton Taylor of the US Consulate in Lahore.
"He boasted that his party had refrained from using India as a political tool. ‘We strongly condemned what happened in India, and want the issue to come to an end,’ he stated. ‘If there is concrete evidence, we must take action’, the cable said, quoting Sharif.
“He described how he had listened to the phone call made by one of the attackers and even though the individual claimed he was Indian, Sharif heard a Pakistani accent. ‘The people involved were from this country - I am convinced’,” he stated. ‘We must take the strictest action against those elements. Once India produces concrete evidence, we should go the whole hog,’ he declared," Sharif is quoted in the cable.
The former PM’s stand, however, contradicts the stand of many from his native Punjab province. Another US cable from Lahore dated December 3, 2008, said:
“Although a few Punjabis see the possibility that the Mumbai attacks could have been launched in Pakistan, overall, politicians and lawyers in Punjab province believe that India should look to internal insurgent groups as the sole actors of the Mumbai attacks.”
During his meeting with Sharif, McCain called for quick action by Pakistan against the 26/11 perpetrators sensing India’s mood, the cable pointed out.
"McCain underscored that the evidence indicated the perpetrators came out of Pakistan. ‘These are facts,’ he stressed. He described his recent visit to New Delhi, in which he found public opinion ‘never more aroused’.
‘Unless some concrete steps, besides condemning the attacks are taken, you will see concrete action from India,’ he warned. Specific action from Pakistan, such as dismantling training camps, will allow the US to help defuse the escalating tension between the two countries and relieve the pressure on India to respond militarily, he offered," the cable said.
Re: I am sure Mumbai attack was carried out by Pakistanis - Nawaz to McCain
He has been trying too hard to prove to king-makers that he has changed and he will lick the boots even if his tongue becomes dry, he is ready to take it dry only if he can get to power. Too bad for him, good for PPP that the hidden-powers didn’t trust Nawaz Sharif enough because of his past adventurisms (like ameerul-momineen, (bhikari wali) friendship with OBL), but now with US getting ready to run from Afghanistan next year they believe its okay to give him a chance. But what NS does not know is that it is long-trap being set to venture in other borders by someone else.
Re: I am sure Mumbai attack was carried out by Pakistanis - Nawaz to McCain

Fact remains, Nawaz sharif should have told them that he is not at the helm of the affairs the Americans should go and talk with the government. Irresponsible persons like NS cannot be trusted.
Re: I am sure Mumbai attack was carried out by Pakistanis - Nawaz to McCain
Next day after attacks , Our media was showing the village of Ajmal Qasab and 'Markiz' at Gujranwala .Was there any thing secret ?
Every one knew these terrorists and power behind them .
NS was discussing after 12 days and world was knowing it very next day .
Re: I am sure Mumbai attack was carried out by Pakistanis - Nawaz to McCain
Agreed why is haqqani called a traitor then, when he asks Pakistanis should be punished (through sanctions) as Pakistan supports afghan terrorists ( the whole world knows believes this). For getting power unfortunately our rulers are willing to do what ever.
