Mumbai terror CCTV footage

India's foreign minister ruled out military action against Pakistan as funerals were held for some of the victims of the Mumbai attacks. Islamist militants based in Pakistan are being blamed for the three-day rampage in India's financial capital. In a bid to cool tensions, Pakistan has offered a joint probe to find the militants responsible. In Israel, the burials of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka, who were killed in the attack on Mumbai's Chabad House, a cultural and outreach centre, have taken place. The couple's two-year-old son Moshe cried out for his parents at the emotional ceremony. His 44-year-old Indian nanny rescued him from the attack on the centre which killed his parents and four other Jewish victims - two Israelis, one US citizen and a Mexican. Meanwhile, the first CCTV footage of the attack on the city's main railway station, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, has emerged. The footage appears to show two gunmen far back on the empty concourse, after commuters were cleared from the busy station, as Indian police officers duck from behind a wall and trade shots. India's Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee has demanded that Pakistan hand over 20 of its most-wanted men, saying: "We have in our demarche (diplomatic protest) asked for the arrest and handover of those persons who are settled in Pakistan and who are fugitive of Indian law." Officials said the list included Dawood Ibrahim, a Mumbai underworld leader, and Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani Muslim cleric freed from jail in India in exchange for passengers on a hijacked plane. New Delhi's foreign ministry said that Pakistan's High Commissioner Shahid Malik had been told that "Pakistan's actions needed to match the sentiments expressed by its leadership that it wishes to have a qualitatively new relationship with India". Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, speaking in a televised address, said now was not the time for a "blame game, taunts (and) finger-pointing". "The government of Pakistan has offered a joint investigating mechanism and a joint commission to India. We are ready to jointly go into the depth of this issue and we are ready to compose a team that could help you," he said, adding: "Pakistan wants good relations with India." Ibrahim, India's most wanted man, is reported to be living in Pakistan. He is wanted for bomb attacks in Mumbai in 1993 that killed at least 250 people. Reports have said his henchmen in the city could have also provided some support in the latest strike. Indian investigators have said the Mumbai attackers had months of commando training in Pakistan by the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, blamed for a 2001 attack on India's parliament. Ibrahim is said to be one of its financers. The 2001 attack on India's parliament nearly set off the fourth war between the two countries since Pakistan was carved from India in 1947 after independence from Britain.
