The FBI took the details of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services used by the perpetrators of the Mumbai mayhem.
The US investigating agency's help had been sought in sharing the proofs like call details made through VoIP and from the satellite phone besides getting the documents related to Global Positioning System (GPS) used by the terrorists.
The forensic examination of the bullets used by the terrorists in Mumbai was also a part of the evidence gathered from FBI by Indian Police.
