| India answers 26/11 questions | | |
New Delhi, Mar 13: Responding to Pakistan's questions on Mumbai attacks, India provided more evidence, including forensic reports, to Islamabad and asked
it to proceed fast in prosecuting those behind the 26/11 carnage on the basis of the 'very comprehensive' and 'solid' material.
The 400-page dossier, containing replies to Pakistan's questions, was handed over by foreign secretary Shivshankar Menon to Pakistan's High Commissioner Shahid Malik, a month after Islamabad posed the queries.
The Home Ministry has prepared a document which includes the DNA reports of Ajmal Kasab, the only terrorist caught alive, and the nine other gunmen killed in the attack.
Pakistan, in response to the Indian dossier of evidence on 26/11 given on January 5, had sought more information on February 12.
The second dossier include telephone conversations of the 10 attackers and their Pakistan-based handlers, fingerprints and other details of the terrorists who struck in Mumbai besides forensic analysis of GPS, ammunition and other equipment used by the terrorists.
Earlier, Home Minster P. Chidambaram, who handed over the document to External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee for on-passing it to Pakistan, had said that each and every question posed by Islamabad had been answered adequately.
"We have put together answers to 30 questions submitted by Pakistan. It is a very comprehensive document, answering each of the 30 questions," he told reporters after emerging from a meeting with Mukherjee.
He maintained that there is "enough material" for anyone wishing to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice.
"If Pakistan is serious to investigate the origins of the horrific crime in Mumbai, these answers provide solid basis. We expect Pakistan to take the investigation forward quickly," he said.
"We expect Pakistan to take investigations forward quickly, apprehend all the culprits and either hand them over to India for prosecution and punishment or prosecute them and punish them in Pakistan," the Home Minister said.
