Pakistan says Mumbai attacks material being examined

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Jan 7, IRNA -- Pakistan Foreign Ministry said Wednesday that the information material received from India is being seriously examined.

India handed over 'evidence' to Pakistan about the Mumbai attacks in November which killed nearly 170 people.

"Pakistan remains fully determined in its investigations to uncover full facts pertaining to the Mumbai incident and is cognizant of the need for establishing legally tenable evidence," the Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

The spokesman regretted the 'propaganda campaign unleashed by India to malign Pakistan.'

"Blame game and political point scoring is counter productive and unacceptable," he said.

He said terrorism is a pernicious problem afflicting South Asia. "Pragmatic and responsible approach, including cooperation between the relevant investigation departments, is the imperative need of the hour to deal with the Mumbai terrorist attacks and to prevent any such incident in India, Pakistan or elsewhere".
