US envoy meets Chidambaram
New Delhi, Dec 22 (PTI) US Ambassador David C Mulford
Monday met Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram here in the backdrop of Washington's offer to share information and collaborate with New Delhi following the Mumbai terror attacks.
The meeting at North Block lasted about half-an-hour, official sources said.
Officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation
have already questioned Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone
surviving Lashkar-e-Taiba militant involved in the November 26
strikes, to ascertain his role and those of his handlers in
Pakistan.
The US, which witnessed the deadly 9/11 attacks
seven years ago, is working through a package for India on
dealing with the situation arising out of the "horrific"
Mumbai strikes by way of information sharing, collaboration
and cooperation, according to a top Pentagon official.
"We are working through the initial parts of a package...
we would offer to India to help them understand some of the
lessons ... that we very painfully learnt in the wake of our
11 September attacks, in information sharing, collaboration
and cooperation," Admiral Timothy Keating, Commander of the US
Pacific Command, told reporters in Washington last week.
Praising India for its "measured response" in the
aftermath of the Mumbai attacks, Keating said that various
agencies of the US government were working closely to keep a
tab of developments in the region.
