| 2009-04-16 |
| [ADN Kronos] India has agreed to provide more information to Pakistan about the deadly Mumbai terror attacks, but said Islamabad should not delay its investigations. "I have just had a discussion with our foreign secretary. We have received the papers (from Pakistan). We are examining them and if there be further information necessary, then we will give them the further information," Indian external affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee told the media on Tuesday. According to Pakistan's GeoNews, the minister said that Pakistan should complete its probe and penalise the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks that struck the city in November last year, he said. "The matter should not be delayed on this or that issue, or on this or that clarification. We are prepared to give them any information that they want, provided we have the information," Mukherjee said. He said it was a reality that many people were killed in the siege of two major hotels and other locations in the heart of India's financial capital. At least 165 people died in the three-day terror attacks. The sole surviving suspected terrorist was arrested and is about to stand trial on several charges. "These are the realities. These are the facts. If somebody wants to evade and avoid these facts, what can we do?" he asked. |
