Attribution of the 2008 Mumbai attacks were first made by the Indian authorities who said that the Mumbai attacks were directed by Lashkar-e-Taiba militants inside Pakistan . American intelligence agencies also agree with this attribution . Pakistan initially contested this attribution , but agreed this was the case on 7 January 2009 . To back up its accusations , the Indian government supplied a dossier to Pakistan 's high commission in Delhi . The Pakistan government dismissed the dossier as " not evidence , " but also announced that it had detained over a hundred members of Jamaat-ud-Dawa , a charity linked with Lashkar-e-Taiba . In February 2009 , Pakistan 's Interior Minister Rehman Malik agreed that " some part of the conspiracy " did take place in Pakistan
