Zardari vows to uncover 'full facts' behind Mumbai attacks

Islamabad, Jan 17 (PTI) Pakistan President Asif Ali
Zardari has said the country is determined to uncover "full
facts" behind the Mumbai attacks and needs India's cooperation
for the trial of any suspects linked to the terror strikes.

Zardari, during a meeting with visiting British Foreign
Secretary David Miliband at the presidency here late Friday
night, said an elite Pakistani counter-terror team is
conducting a probe into the Mumbai incident.

There was no official word on the meeting though TV
channels quoted sources as saying that Zardari told Miliband
that Pakistan is determined to uncover the full facts about
the Mumbai attacks.

India's cooperation is needed for the proper trial of
any suspects and that is why Pakistan wanted a joint probe to
be conducted by the two countries, Zardari reportedly said.

The President echoed comments made Friday by Prime
Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who said full cooperation by
India is necessary to ensure proper trial of any suspects.
Gilani also said Pakistan is serious about prosecuting
suspects in the Mumbai attacks in accordance with its own laws
in a transparent trial. PTI RHL
