German Team Meets Mumbai Police


With the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes sending alarm bells ringing in capitals around the world, a top level German delegation headed by Federal Police chief Joerg Ziercke, on Friday met the top brass of Mumbai police and sought information on the attack and the subsequent police investigations.

Three German nationals were killed in the macabre attacks, which were arguably the worst ever terror strike on India.

A day after it held discussions with senior officials in Delhi, the delegation met Mumbai Police Commissioner Hasan Gafoor and other senior police officers, said a report on the PTI website.

"The delegation and our officials discussed the incident, how the police handled it and investigations into the November 26 attacks," it added.

The delegation is also likely to visit the sites of the terror attacks including the Hotels Taj, the Oberoi and Nariman House.

The German delegation had on Thursday met National Security Advisor (NSA) M K Narayanan, Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta, CBI Director Ashwini Kumar and IB Director Rajiv Mathur.

Ziercke had said the chief of Germany's elite commando force GSG-9 Olaf Linder is expected to visit India late next month to discuss ways and means to train commando units in the country.
