REVEALED: How the world reacted to 26/11

A confidential cable released by WikiLeaks related to the Mumbai terror attack narrates the international response to the deadly incident that killed 166 people, including several foreigners.

The cable from December 2008 describes a meeting between New Zealand, US, Australian, British and Canadian diplomats in the aftermath of the attacks, according to the New Zealand Herald.

All the representatives resolved not to get 'sucked into the blame game' being played by Pakistan and India, the cable said.

It said the representatives decided that any offers of assistance to India should be made 'carefully' to avoid being interpreted as politically motivated.

They had earlier agreed to send sympathetic messages to India rather than 'pound' it for the 'massive intelligence failure' that led to the attacks, it said.

In the leaked cable, US ambassador to India David Mulford speculated on whether the attacks were ordered by Pakistan's intelligence service Inter Services Intelligence.

In a segment titled 'The Million Dollar Question', he noted links between Pakistan intelligence and the extremist group that perpetrated them, Lashkar-e-Tayiba.

However, he said "there is no clear evidence yet to suggest that the ISI directed or facilitated the attacks".
