Pak briefs Indian High Commissioner on Mumbai probe
Rezaul H Laskar
Islamabad, Jan 19 (PTI) Pakistan Monday briefed India on
its probe into the Mumbai terror attacks, including the follow-up steps it plans to take in the coming days, even as New Delhi said it will wait for the "positive outcomes" of the measures by Islamabad.
During a meeting here, interior ministry chief Rehman
Malik told Indian High Commissioner Satyabrata Pal about the
inquiry being conducted by a three-member team into the
information provided by New Delhi on the Mumbai attacks and
other aspects of Pakistan's probe, official sources said.
Pal, who sought the meeting with Malik, told PTI that the
interior ministry chief had briefed him on the steps "already
taken by the government by Pakistan as well as the steps it
plans to take".
He said he appreciated the "clarity and candour" of
Malik's briefing.
Pal also said he had told Malik that India will "wait to
see and hope for what are positive outcomes of the steps"
being taken by Pakistan.
Though the High Commissioner did not give details, other
sources said Malik clearly outlined follow-up steps the
Pakistan government intended to take in the coming days to
deal with persons found to be linked to the Mumbai attacks.
Malik, a close aide of President Asif Ali Zardari, formed
a three-member team of counter-terrorism experts last week to
examine the information provided by India on the Mumbai
attacks and to investigate other aspects of the terrorist
incident.
He directed the team on Saturday to submit its
preliminary findings within 10 days. Malik also said there
were "leads and good clues" in the information provided by
India and the Pakistani investigators will work to convert
these into evidence that can stand up in a court of law.
Pakistan has said that it has detained 124 members of
banned militant groups following the Mumbai attacks and also
shut down five training camps and dozens of offices of the
Jamaat-ud-Dawah after it was declared a front for the outlawed
Lashker-e-Toiba by the UN Security Council. PTI RHL
