Rezaul H Laskar
Islamabad, Dec 24 (PTI) Pakistan has said it will
respond to India's proposal to send a commission to question
terror suspects linked to the Mumbai attacks, including
Lashker-e-Taiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, according to
the country's laws.
"As far as the Indian suggestion is concerned, that
will be dealt with according to our own laws and we will
respond to India in due course," Foreign Office spokesman
Abdul Basit told reporters Thursday.
Basit was responding to a question on India's request
to access the suspects accused of planning and facilitating
the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.
In a communication, India told Pakistan that it wanted
to send a commission to get voice samples of masterminds who
directed the attackers in Mumbai.
India has also informed Pakistan that it wants to
question Lakhvi and six other suspects arrested and charged
under the Anti-Terrorism Act for their alleged role in the
attacks.
Asked about Pakistan's proposal to send a commission
to India to interview lone surviving attacker Ajmal Kasab and
key officials who probed the Mumbai attacks, Basit said, "We
are still awaiting India's acceptance of our proposal." PTI
