No time frame from Pakistan on 26/11 trials | Pakistan refused to provide a time frame to act against the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks, which
resulted in death of over 166 people. There was no major break through in Indo-Pak
talks on Thursday. The joint press conference addressed by visiting Indian External
Affairs Minister S M Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi
did not yield much go ahead with both countries rebutting each other's point.
Qureshi said that Pakistan has taken note of the additional information provided
by alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba David Coleman Headly in his confessions to US investiogating
agency, FBI. Headley revealed during interrogation that Pakistani terrorist leader
Hafeez Saeed was the mastermind behind the 26/11 attacks in which the ISI played
an active and key role, and confessed to his role in the Mumbai attacks in which
Pakistani terrorists killed over 166 people and injured over 200 others. Union
Home Minister P Chidambaram provided information about Headley's confession to
Pakistan with hope that Islamabd will pursue vigorously to unravel the full conspiracy
and bring all the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks to justice. However, Qureshi
refused to give any time frame on the 26/11 trials, and said the process will
be fastened. " We discussed how to hasten 26/11 trials, taking India's leads seriously.
We are not binding ourselves to any time frame," Qureshi said. Krishna said: "
We had a very useful exchange of views on number of issues and I think I am going
back with the assurance from highest level of Pakistani leadeship that there will
be further investigations based on leads given by Headley." Krishna said that
it was vital for India that Pakistan should pursue vigorously the trial of the
accused in the Mumbai attacks "to unravel the conspiracy and bring all the perpetrators
to justice." Krishna pointed out that the security measures taken in Jammu and
Kashmir to meet the street protests since June were an internal matter of India. |
