A woman claims she was questioned by US agencies about Mumbai attacks

Anita Uddaiya,a Mumbai attacks witness,says that she was taken to US by intellegence agencies and questioned by them.Anita happens to be the witness of attacks who had seen six terrorists involved in the attacks.

“I was informed that the (US) officers, who had questioned me about the Mumbai attacks here earlier, would take me to America. They came on Sunday morning and took me to America in a flight,” she said in an interview to the PTI in Mumbai.
“From the hospital I was taken to airport,” Uddaiya said, adding, “I was sitting at the airport while they (officers) were showing all the documents to officials at the airport. I had no luggage with me. After some time, I boarded the flight but I was feeling uncomfortable,” Uddaiya recalled.

She said she was asked about the terrorists whom she had seen landing at Mumbai. “The questions were translated in Hindi by one of them and whatever answers I had given were also explained to them in English. Everything was over in two to three hours. I even called Hamid Qureshi (a scrap dealer where she works in Mumbai), telling him that I am safe,” she said, adding she was taken to the hotel subsequently and then to the airport to board a flight back to Mumbai.

On returning home in a taxi from the Mumbai airport, Uddaiya said she was confused and surprised at what was happening around her. “I told the police that I had been to Satara as investigators (American officers) told me not to reveal anything about the American visit,” she said.

Uddaiya said on return from the US, she was taken to Cuffe Parade police station for recording her statement. After the Mumbai attacks, Uddaiya had also been shown pictures of 10 terrorists but she was not taken to the JJ Hospital to identify the bodies of the terrorists, she said. “Since I was unwilling to do so, the Mumbai police did not take me to JJ hospital,” she said. Uddaiya, who deals in scrap, has been living with her husband, daughter and son in the colony of Cuffe Parade in south Mumbai.
