Mumbai confession 'was coerced'

May I start with this one? Looking in to this last year, the D-company theory was the one that spooked me the most ... Was Dawood Ibrahim involved in the Mumbai attacks? If yes, on whose behalf? ISI? or ISI's shadow daddies? Is there a tie between Dawoods Mumbai D-company and the recent surge of piracy, as has been rumored by the fringe?
