India (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/) had requested Interpol "Red Corner" notices against the five after questioning David Headley, the US-born son of a former Pakistan (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/)i diplomat, who pleaded guilty in Chicago to helping to plan the attacks.
Headley had helped to identify the voices of the men who guided the militants during their assault on three hotels and a Jewish community centre in Mumbai which left 166 dead, the Press Trust of India reported.

According to the report, Headley identified Sajid Majid as the person who instructed the militants holding Israelis hostage in the Jewish centre.
He also said a Major Iqbal had provided him with funds and training. He also named another officer, Major Sameer Ali.
The other two men named in the warrants were Illyas Kashmiri and Syed Abdur Rahman Hashim, a retired army major.
A Red Corner notice seeks the arrest or provisional arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition.
