Pakistan's Geo TV team claims to have located house where 26/11 Mumbai attackers are believed to have stayed and planned the attacks.
The house is located on a street in Yousuf-Goudh near Karachi. The terrorists are believed to have stayed in this house before leaving for Mumbai.
Fishing equipment like nets were found in the house. There were lockers, safes inside. There was also a world map mounted on the wall with the sea route to Mumbai highlighted.

Well done GEO hats off to your patriotism.
I think its high to implement strict media moderation policy specially related with covering of issue related with national security.
After Mumbai attack i am highly dissappointed with GEO TV during attack they were covering like incident was happened some where in pakistan aprox 60 hours of coverage.
Revealing AJMAL KASAB identity to this whole world when pakistan leadership was finding appropraite strategy to handle this issue.
Geo current affairs programs were also expressing pro indian opinion where indian nationals were expressing their poisnous thoughts about pakistan freely and without any moderation.
No icing on cake discovering house to whole world where which was used by terrorist before attack in pakistan.
read these 3 points and reply is this pro pakistani acts and agenda aren't these acts are not weakening already fragiled pakistan.
Coverage of indian shows ,promoting indian movies and expressing indo pak friendship views when india is threatining pakistan on daily basis.I want to know which side GEO is on ? who is providing funds to geo.why its acting like mouth piece of india in pakistan.
Have you ever seen geo did any sting operation regarding who are tehril taliban, who is providing funds ammunition and logistic support to them reveal their true identity to this world just like ajmal kasab.
Have they ever tried to uncover any suicide attack in pakistan.who are these suicide bombers who is helping them what is role of indian councilate in afghanistan in this issue.
Any fact finding mission in swat ?
Answer is nO.
I hope i have conveyed my message to all my readers .its our repsonsibility as a pakistani to condemn these acts by GEO and even support for strict moderation rules for issues concerning national security of pakistan.
SHAME ON GEO TV..

India is to investigate after a man whose name was given to Pakistan on a list of the 50 most wanted fugitives was found living near the Indian city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay).
Wazhul Kamar Khan is accused of involvement in a blast on a Mumbai train in 2003 in which 11 people were killed and more than 80 injured.
He is number 41 on the list of people that India says are hiding in Pakistan.
India blames Pakistan-based militant groups for attacks in recent years.
The home ministry has ordered an inquiry into the error. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party has described it as a "monumental lapse".
Wazhul Kamar Khan was arrested last year, but later released on bail. He continued to live at his address of many years, in the Mumbai suburb of Thane, with his mother, wife and children.
Embarrassment for India
Correspondents say the mistake is likely to cost India dear.
They say Islamabad will now be able to raise doubts about the other names on the list too.
India blames Pakistan-based militant groups like the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) of carrying out many of the attacks in the past years.
It also accuses Pakistan of providing a safe sanctuary to former Mumbai underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Mr Ibrahim and LeT founder Hafiz Saeed are among those named on the most-wanted list.
On Tuesday, Home Secretary GK Pillai said his ministry accepted the blame for the mistake.
"We will examine the records and put out a statement clarifying the situation by lunch-time tomorrow [Wednesday]," Press Trust of India quoted him as saying.
Home Minister P Chidambaram tried to play down the mistake.
"I don't think we should make a big issue of it. It is possible there could be an error, or there could be two people with the same name. I will check," he said.
"It is a monumental lapse... It appears that the home ministry has risen to the optimum level of its incompetence," senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said.
"The home minister has embarrassed the country... It is an unpardonable mistake," added another BJP leader Sushma Swaraj.
Good dig Aftab. Appreciated.

If world's most wanted can be just beneath the nose of 'MOST CAPABLE INTELLIGENCE' in abbottabad, then such ommissions and errors can be found in any such list. Secondly , there is a possiblity that the person might be travelling back and forth across the border.

Another man in India's most wanted list for Pak lives in Mumbai jail
May 19, 2011 PTI Mumbai
In yet another major embarrassment for the government, another 'fugitive' named in India's most wanted list handed over to Pakistan has been found in a jail in Mumbai, just days after the first such case came to light.
Feroz Abdul Khan, alias Hamza, 51, an accused in 1993 Mumbai blast case, was arrested from a village in Navi Mumbai in February last year and was handed over to CBI for further investigation.

A list of 50 most-wanted terrorists that India was hoping to use to pressure Pakistan has ended up deeply embarrassing the country. It turns out that at least two people on the list that Delhi alleged were fugitives from Indian law and being sheltered in Pakistan, are in fact in India.
India has often accused Pakistan of sheltering its most wanted. Indeed, several who figure in this list, such as Saeed, are often seen addressing public rallies in Pakistani cities.
But it turns out that at least two of the "fugitives" on the list are in India.
Wazhul Kamar Khan, who figures at number 41, is out on bail and living with his family in Thane, a Mumbai suburb. Accused of involvement in at least four blasts that date back to 2002-03, he was on the run for around seven years but in May last year he was arrested in Mumbai, only to be let out on bail three months later.
Feroz Abdul Rashid Khan alias Hamza, number 24 on the list, is cooling his heels as in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail. An accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, Feroz was on the run until his arrest in February last year.
The Indian government, while embarrassed, responded with airy disdain to the revelations. Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said, "There was a genuine human error in not updating the list." He added it was not such a "monumental mistake" of "calamitous consequences".
Even if the errors will not have "calamitous consequences", their impact on efforts to get Pakistan to stop sheltering anti-India terrorists and fugitives could be serious. A problem that is perhaps among the most serious confronting Indian people and the state has been turned by the government into a farce.
In the past, Pakistan's stock response to India's most wanted lists has been to deny that they were in Pakistan. Worse, it has been dismissive of evidence provided. In February 2005 for instance, when India handed over files containing among other things evidence of involvement of Pakistani nationals in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks - the dossiers provided even addresses where the terrorists were staying - Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Basheer famously dismissed it as "literature", not evidence.
Now with India making a huge blunder over the presence of two "fugitives", Islamabad will be in a position to be even more dismissive of India's allegations. Next time Indian officials hand over a most-wanted list, Pakistani officials could gently remind them to circulate the list first among India's own law-enforcement and investigative agencies.
For decades India has complained of being at the receiving end of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Delhi often complains that its drawing of global attention to Islamabad's provision of sanctuary to terrorists has never been taken seriously.
The goof over the most-wanted list provides answers to why India's allegations are not taken as seriously as they should be. It is weakened from within by a bureaucracy and a ruling class that lack professionalism, many of whom are at best incompetent and inefficient.
Since the 2008 Mumbai terror attack and particularly after the killing of Bin Laden by US Special Forces, a section of Indian security experts has been calling on the government to carry out "surgical strikes" to "take out" anti-India terrorists who are enjoying sanctuary in Pakistan. India's army chief General V K Singh boasted that "all three arms of the [Indian] military were competent" to carry out an operation similar to the one conducted by the US at Abbottabad.
On what intelligence would such a "surgical strike" be based? Obviously, those carrying out the strike would need to know the exact location of the terrorist. But India lacks such information. It doesn't have much of a clue regarding even those who are in its custody.
Indian analysts have blamed the blunder on the casual attitude of the internal security establishment to updating and maintaining records and to the failure of officials to follow procedures, whether it is with regard to preparing important documents and dossiers or carrying out investigations.
In the unseemly haste to embarrass Pakistan, officials did not double-check the names on the most-wanted list.
But more importantly, there is a problem in the way India conducts diplomacy with Pakistan. As The Hindu points out in an editorial:
When it comes to India's relations with Pakistan, or any country for that matter, the sole window for public pronouncements and even unofficial briefings ought to be the Ministry of External Affairs or the Prime Minister's Office. What we have instead is a free-for-all in which top generals, bureaucrats, and even defense scientists feel free to make statements - or plant stories - that have a crucial bearing on foreign policy.
By making public the most-wanted list, India's investigative agencies were hoping to embarrass Pakistan. By not doing their homework thoroughly before they sent off the list to Pakistan and then went to the media with it, they ended up shooting the Indian government in the foot. Years of painstaking effort to draw attention to Pakistan's support to fugitives and terrorists was destroyed in the process.
As the Hindu editorial observes in conclusion, "The error should also serve as a reminder to our intelligence agencies and internal security bureaucracy that their time is best spent getting their house in order rather than hamming it on a diplomatic stage for which they have neither talent nor aptitude."
They set out to embarrass Pakistan but ended up with egg on their face.

A rare moment these days that Pakistan comes out on top, from the incompetency of Indian Establishment.
After reading the title first thought came to mind was that it must be Geo TV. I hate this channel since Ajmal Qasab.
I hate these channels also because they show indian programs proudly as well.
