Mumbai: Alleged Laskkar-e-Toiba operative Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari, alias Abu Jundal, wanted to take part in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack by landing in the city along with others, according to his confession.
Jundal, as per Mumbai police, was one of the key conspirators.
LeT ‘commander' Zaki-Ur-Rehman Lakhvi stopped him from going to Mumbai and asked, instead, to be in the ‘control room' in Pakistan from where the Mumbai attackers were given directions, says his confession.
The copies of Jundal's confession were given to defence lawyers today by the special court which is conducting the trial in 26/11 case.
Jundal had volunteered to give the confession last August, which he subsequently retracted.
