| Evidence of Pak's role in cross-border terror strong: NSA | | | New Delhi, Jul 29: Objecting to certain comments made by US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher after the Mumbai bomb blasts, India has said the evidence with it about Pakistan's role in cross-border terrorism was "stronger" than what Washington had after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
National Security Adviser M K Narayanan said Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashker-e-Toiba had international influence and it was important for the US to understand its "ramifications".
"Mr Boucher did not talk to anyone of us. (But) he has made a statement," Narayanan told Karan Thapar's 'Devil's Advocate' programme on CNN-IBN when referred to the US official's remarks suggesting that India had no evidence to blame Pakistan for the Mumbai blasts that killed 200 people and injured more than 700 people.
"If he (Boucher) wished to have information, we are willing to talk to whoever is wanting to know the facts. He has not fallen into that category as of now," the NSA said.
Boucher had said that nobody has clinching evidence to pinpoint the perpetrators of the wave of deadly attacks in Mumbai.
"The evidence...As far as who they were, who was responsible -- I don't think we've seen a lot yet.... I think we need to be led by the evidence before we start trying to draw conclusions and make policy pronouncements on it," the US official had said. |
