The Pakistani newspaper, Dawn, said it had tracked down the father of the sole surviving suspect in the attacks, quoting the man as saying he had been "in denial" but had now accepted his son, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab, was the man being held.In Mumbai itself, thousands of people joined hands on the streets Friday to symbolise their unity in the aftermath of the attacks.
Police say that members of Jamaat-ud-Dawa have been detained in Sindh, Punjab, North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Pakistani-administered Kashmir, where the charity is reported to be especially active.
