Pakistan is willing to have an agreement with India to allow each other to question terror suspects in the other country, President Asif Ali Zardari said in an interview with CNN-IBN'S Karan Thapar.Asked if Pakistan would allow India to question people it suspects were involved in terrorism on its soil, the president said it was 'a procedural matter'.
But he insisted that questioning should be allowed only when there is evidence of a suspect's involvement.
Training camps: Asked if he would close down terrorist training camps allegedly operating in Pakistan, the president said if there was evidence of any camps, he would close them down and take action against people running the camps.
"I assure you, if any evidence points out to any camps . . . we will not only close down, but [also] take action against those people who are running those camps."
Non-state actors: The president said the people of India should see the Mumbai terror attacks as an action of 'non-state actors'. The president said Pakistan would co-operate with India in the investigation "without any hesitation whatsoever, no matter where it may lead".
Zardari said Pakistan and India were facing threat from the same forces. "I have a personal threat. I have a country [threatened] by these same forces. They may not be the same individuals, but they are definitely the same forces with the same mindset. So I am not standing in to appease any other people. I am trying to save my own nation, my own country."
