Pakistan says surviving Mumbai gunman is Pakistani

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan's information minister says an investigation has revealed that the lone surviving Mumbai gunman is a Pakistani citizen, as India has alleged.

Up until now Pakistan had refused to confirm Ajmal Kasab's nationality, saying he was not registered in the country's databases.

Information Minister Sherry Rehman confirmed Kasab was a Pakistani in a text message but gave no other details.

The confirmation Wednesday comes a day after New Delhi handed over a dossier of what it said was evidence linking the Mumbai attackers to Pakistan.

The attacks in November killed 164 people and left nine of 10 gunmen dead. Pakistan has made some moves against groups allegedly linked to the attacks.
