ROEMER 2LST

During Indian External Affair Minister S M Krishna's
meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi,
the Indian side is expected to convey its disappointment over
Pakistan dithering in prosecuting the Mumbai terror accused.

Roemer had said Thursday in Mumbai that Pakistan-based
LeT posed a "regional and global" threat for the US and India.

"It is extremely important that these six people be
brought to justice and put behind bars and receive sentences
commensurate with their crimes against India, US and the
world," he had said.

Roemer said he hoped that in future the action on 26/11
includes people like Hafiz Saeed and noted that he was put
into an Interpol red flag list recently.

Pakistan has made it clear that it will not accept any
precondition set by India for resuming talks or buckle under
pressure mounted on the Mumbai attack issue.

India is mistaken if it thinks anything can be achieved
by piling up pressure on Pakistan, Qureshi told reporters in
Lahore.

While Pakistan has been insisting on early resumption of
the dialogue process stalled since November last year, India
has firmly stated that this was not possible till Pakistan
acted against the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks.
"We want a dialogue (with India) but we are not willing
to accept any conditions... We want talks in an open and
friendly atmosphere. They (India) are mistaken if they think
they can achieve anything by putting pressure on Pakistan,"
Qureshi said. PTI
