Abstract
This article having a significant analysis of the Mumbai terrorist attack held on November 26, 2011, using a decision based on multi-criteria which are a potential approach for the social network analysis. The data source for this analysis is a dossier report on 26/11 Mumbai attack submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs that was published in the year 2009 and many more articles. This report gives the complete details about this tragic event consisting number of terrorist involved in India as well as from Pakistan, points where they had done operation, their communications in between, number of casualties, etc. When law enforcement agencies want to analyze any terrorist attack concerning key players involved in the attack, investigators should consider more than one criterion or factors that may also inconsistent and contradictory. Therefore, key player selection and ranking of terrorist nodes are a multi-criteria decision-making issue. AHP resolves this multi-criteria decision-making issue. This study reveals the key players and ranked them accordingly, involved in 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP).
