‘Pakistan to professionally analyse information’
* President and prime minister agree to cooperate with India in probing Mumbai attacks
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and President Asif Ali Zardari agreed in a meeting on Tuesday that Pakistani investigators should ‘professionally analyse’ the information about the November 26 terrorist attacks in Mumbai that New Delhi has provided to Islamabad. Sources privy to the meeting at the President’s House told Daily Times the two leaders agreed Pakistan should extend complete cooperation to India in the investigations into the attacks. “They agreed that if anyone is found guilty, action will be taken against them in accordance with our own laws and no one will be handed over to India,” the sources said. A brief statement issued by the government said Gilani and Zardari “discussed the current political situation”, and that the premier “apprised [Zardari] about the measures taken by the government to resolve the energy crisis and to provide relief to the general public”. Citing unidentified sources, the Online news agency said the two leaders regretted allegations by the Indian prime minister that Pakistani officials were involved in the attacks, and said Islamabad was against all forms of terrorism and would not allow its soil to be used for terrorist attacks against any other country.” staff report/online
