| The army confirmed late on Monday it has begun an operation targeting banned organisations in the wake of the attacks in Mumbai last month, but did not name any organisation. "There have been arrests and investigations are ongoing," a statement said, adding further details would be released once preliminary investigations had been completed. The White House said on Monday that Pakistan has taken "some positive steps" since the terrorist strikes in Mumbai but called for continued co-operation with India and the United States to thwart possible follow-on attacks. |
