The seven-member team of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has started its assessment of the Mumbai terror attacks.

The team arrived in the city yesterday and was in a day-long meeting with the Director General of Police (DGP), Mumbai Commissioner of Police and senior officials from the Crime Branch.

The team is in the process of examining evidence and remnants of explosives gathered from the targeted places and the methodology used by the militants, official sources said.

FBI would be investigating the case from their side as six American nationals were killed in the attacks.

It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has also registered a case in the matter as they had done in the hijacking of Indian airlines' IC-814 plane in 1999 which carried a US national - Jennir Moorie.
