Intelligence Bureau director, Home Secretary, head of the Coast Guard, and other bureaucrats are likely to be sacked.

Meanwhile, the Indian government said it has "enough proof" that the terrorists in Mumbai were in constant touch with their leaders in Pakistan and were giving updates on their every move and taking orders.

Investigations have revealed that the call data recovered from seized satellite phones used by the terrorists have been tracked back to Pakistan.

According to Maharashtra ATS sources, the terrorists were instructed to kill till their own death and most were given extensive marine commando training for three months at Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir before the terror attack.

According to the sources, the attacks were carried out in clinical precision and the terrorists, who were well trained, financed and prepared, did a recce of the city 2 months back.

The terrorists, who came in two batches by boats, were equipped to the teeth with sophisticated automatic guns, grenades, satellite phones, plastic explosives and digital maps of Mumbai to make them understand the exact geographical locations of the targets.
