ISLAMABAD - Pakistan on Wednesday confirmed that Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist involved in Mumbai attacks, is its citizen but not before hours long confusion generated by conflicting statements of top government officials regarding his identity.
**The Foreign Office Spokesman, Muhammad Sadiq revealed to the media Wednesday evening that Kasab was a Pakistani citizen, it had been established by the investigating agencies, which had given their report to the Foreign Ministry.
**Before the final word by Foreign Office on the identity of Kasab, the State Minister for Interior, Tasnim Ahmed Qureshi told different news channels and representatives of newspapers that he could say with authority that Kasab was not Pakistani citizen and the Mumbai attack was a drama staged by the Indians themselves.
Even, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told the CNN-IBN that as of now he could only say that Pakistanâ€™s investigation was continuing and it could not be confirmed that Kasab was a Pakistani.
All this controversy about Kasabâ€™s identity started with the statement by National Security Advisor General (Retd) Mehmood Ali Durrani who said that investigations by Pakistan showed that the terrorist arrested alive by Indian police was a Pakistani.
He was approached to comment on the reports by some news channels that Kasab was a Pakistani citizen quoting unnamed Pakistani officials early in the morning.
However, State Minister for Interior and Foreign Secretary took no time to belie the statement by Durrani thus creating bewilderment and confusion.
The mystery deepens further with a short statement made by Information Minister Sherry Rehman who sent a text message to journalists in admission of Kasabâ€™s identity as a Pakistani citizen.

He is forced to tell lies by Indian police he was beaten so much that even a mouse would testify that it is a elephant intead of a mouse. Its corrupt indian police system.
