| ISI chief not going to India |
| 2008-11-30 |
| Pakistan has demanded evidence for Indian charges it was involved in the Mumbai attacks and reversed its decision to send its spy chief to India. Pakistan's government on Saturday reinforced its pledge to help India identify and apprehend those behind the attacks, which left more than 190 people dead in the financial hub of Mumbai. "We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Indian people to defeat this common enemy," Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told a news conference in Islamabad. However, Qureshi insisted that Pakistani authorities - including intelligence agencies that New Delhi has long accused of sponsoring terrorism - were not behind the carnage. "If they have evidence they should share it with us," Qureshi said. "Our hands are clean." His government also backed off a pledge made on Friday to send the chief of its Inter Services Intelligence agency in person. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari blamed the about-face on a "miscommunication" with India. Zardari said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had asked in a telephone call on Friday only that a "director" of the agency not the chief go to India. |

| #3 Pakistan had better take this seriously. I don't think any country is in a mood to take any more of Pakistan's lame excuses. For years they have been telling us that they have no idea where bin Laden, Zawahiri, and Dawood Ibrahim are and that they aren't in Pakistan when the entire world knows that the opposite is true. Practically any major terror event in the world is traceable to Pakistan. Pakistan had better change their attitude concerning this stuff. If the government can not control what goes on, then maybe it is time to install a government that can control what goes on. |

| #2 Like you couldn't see that one coming. IIRC the Foreign Minister was the one who announced he was coming. Then a General announces he's not coming after all. This is like the 3rd time the military has publically slapped down the Foreign Minister in a week. From now on we should disregard anything Qureshi says on military matters. |
