Jan 6 (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Tuesday that Pakistan was whipping up war hysteria, and that the Mumbai attacks must have had support from some official agencies within its nuclear-armed neighbour. [For full story see ID:nISL332084]

Singh's comments came a day after India handed to Pakistan a dossier of "evidence" linking the attacks that killed 179 people to Pakistan.

Here is some of the evidence from the dossier, which is also being shared by India with several foreign governments, according to government officials and local media. * CONFESSIONS OF SURVIVING ATTACKER: The smoking gun India says it has is Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving attacker who police say has confessed to being a Pakistani national. He also said the attackers were trained by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group and implicated top Lashkar leader, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who has been detained by Pakistan.

* SATELLITE PHONE INTERCEPTS AND GPS DATA: The dossier contains what India says are taped conversations between the attackers and their handlers in Pakistan, including Lakhvi, giving instructions using a Voice Over Internet Protocol phone line. The calls were traced to Pakistan. In some of the conversations, the handlers instructed the gunmen to specifically kill Jews and take government officials hostage. The evidence also includes sim cards of mobile phones and a satellite phone.

Similarly, a GPS device recovered from a boat used by the attackers charted a route that traced back to Karachi in Pakistan.

* WEAPONS USED BY MILITANTS: The evidence also includes a list and photographs of guns and grenades used by the Mumbai attackers that bore markings linked to Pakistan's Nedi Frontier Arms company and Pakistan Ordnance Factory. The attackers used AK-47 rifles, 9mm pistols and grenades.

* LIST OF PAKISTANI-MADE ARTICLES: India says the attackers left behind on a boat a number of items of daily use manufactured in Pakistan, including detergent powder, dental cream, a packet of wheat flour, toilet paper and clothes stitched in Pakistan.
