MUMBAI, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- The names and other details of all 10 suspects India says committed the Nov. 26 Mumbai terror massacre have been released.

All the suspects were identified as being from Pakistan. Nine were killed during the three-day siege in India's financial capital.

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, also known as Abu Mujahid, was the only suspect captured alive and remains in custody, CNN's partner network CNN-IBN reported.

The report said the names of the suspects and where they lived in Pakistan were provided by the Mumbai crime branch. The details also included images of the men, all reported to be in their 20s.

CNN-IBN reported the suspects were identified as Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, 21, of Okara Village, Punjab province, who was captured alive; Ismail Khan, alias "Abu Ismail," of Dera Ismail Khan; Hafeez Arshad, alias "Abdul Rehman Bada" and Babbar Imran, alias "Abu Aqasha," both of Multan; Javed, alias "Abu Ali," of Okara; Shoaib, alias "Soaib," of Narowal Sialkot; Nazeer, alias "Abu Umera," and Nasir, alias "Abu Umar," both of Faizalabad; Abdul Rehman, alias "Abdul Rehman Chota," of Arafwala, and Fahadullah, alias "Abu Fahad," of Bipalpur Taluka, Okara.

The BBC reported the authorities did not say how the suspects' identities were obtained but the lone survivor has been undergoing interrogation since his capture.

About 180 people died in the Mumbai attacks.

The release of the suspects' names comes as Pakistan reported the arrest of two leading militants India claims planned the attacks. Pakistan, however, declined to hand over the two to India as demanded by New Delhi.
