Pak briefs Indian High Commissioner on Mumbai probe

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday briefed India on its probe into the Mumbai terror attacks, including the follow-up steps it plans to take in the coming days, even as New Delhi said it will wait for the "positive outcomes" of the measures by Islamabad.

During a meeting here, interior ministry chief Rehman Malik told Indian High Commissioner Satyabrata Pal about the inquiry being conducted by a three-member team into the information provided by New Delhi on the Mumbai attacks and other aspects of Pakistan's probe, official sources said.

Pal, who sought the meeting with Malik, told the media that the interior ministry chief had briefed him on the steps "already taken by the government by Pakistan as well as the steps it plans to take".

He said he appreciated the "clarity and candour" of Malik's briefing.

Pal also said he had told Malik that India will "wait to see and hope for what are positive outcomes of the steps" being taken by Pakistan.

Though the High Commissioner did not give details, other sources said Malik clearly outlined follow-up steps the Pakistan government intended to take in the coming days to deal with persons found to be linked to the Mumbai attacks.
