India hands over Mumbai evidence to Pakistan
India on Monday handed to Pakistan what it said was evidence linking the country to the militants who attacked Mumbai in November and it expected a prompt investigation India's foreign minister said. The government also said it was launching a major diplomatic offensive to maintain international pressure on Islamabad, which has so far rejected New Delhi's demands to hand over a list of terror suspects."What happened in Mumbai was an unpardonable crime. As far as the Government of Pakistan is concerned, we ask only that it implement the bilateral commitments that it has made at the highest levels to India, and practices her international obligations. These are clear," Pranab Mukherjee said. "It is our expectation that the Government of Pakistan will promptly undertake further investigations in Pakistan and share the results with us so as to bring the perpetrators to justice." The material includes details of interrogation of Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman -- also known as Mohammed Ajmal Kasab -- who was the lone surviving gunman and who India says is a Pakistani national.
