New Delhi: More WikiLeaks revelations have emerged from the over five thousand US diplomatic cables on India that have been accessed by the Hindu newspaper.

India had sought access to Taliban records which were in the US' possession. US cables dated 2005 also reveal how Washington prior to 26/11 was wary of sharing information with India, especially when it concerned Pakistan.
Another explosive cable which will vindicate New Delhi but leave Islamabad red-faced.
Former Pakistan Minister Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif allegedly told two US senators that he had no doubt that the men who attacked Mumbai in November 2008 were Pakistani. These details were sent by a US Consulate officer in a cable dated December 2009.
The cable describes how Sharif told a visiting delegation of US senators including John McCain that he had listened to the phone call made by one of the attackers to an Indian TV channel, and had heard a Pakistani accent.
