Mumbai: Pakistan has owned up four of the nine terrorists who were gunned down during their attack on Mumbai November 26 last year, according to Maharashtra Home Minister Jayant Patil.

"Now, we shall pursue with the Centre that Pakistan should accept the bodies of all the nine (terrorists) gunned down by security forces.

We hope this matter will be sorted out in the next 10 days," Patil told reporters.

Patil said he was informed that the Pakistan government had accepted as its nationals four of the nine who carried out the 26/11 terror operation in Mumbai.

The bodies of nine terrorists are lying in the morgue of the Sir JJ Hospital for the past nine months and their condition is not very good, Patil said.

When asked what the authorities would do about disposing off the bodies if Pakistan refused to accept them, Patil said that would be decided at the appropriate time.

Nine of the 10 terrorists, who attacked the city were killed in fierce gun battles with security forces during the 60-hour long operation last year at various places in the western metropolis.

Only one - Ajmal Amir Kasab - was captured alive and he is currently undergoing trial in the Mumbai terror attacks.
