Several attackers may have survived the three-day
siege of Mumbai that killed 171 people last week, analysts said
on Thursday.
"I think there are more. My sources say (there
were) at least 23 of the gunmen," said Farhana Ali, a former
CIA and Rand Corp counterterrorism analyst and expert on militant
networks. Ali, who most recently visited India and Pakistan last
month before the attacks, said her information came from Pakistan,
but declined to further identify the source.
"If that's true, that makes one wonder why we haven't seen
more attacks. Are they lying low?" she said "I think
they (Indian authorities) are bracing themselves for more,"
she said.
Ali spoke at a briefing for U.S. government counterterrorism
and military officials, and others. It was sponsored by the Counterterrorism
Foundation, which supports research and publication on terrorism
issues.

as estimating there were 25 gunmen.
