Indian High Commissioner meets Rehman Malik

Islamabad, June 13 (PTI) Indian High Commissioner to
Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal on Saturday met Pakistan's Interior
Ministry chief Rehman Malik here and discussed the status of
the probe into the Mumbai terror attacks.

The Indian envoy, who had sought the meting with
Malik, was given an update on the Pakistani probe into the
26/11 strikes that killed more than 180 people.

The meeting comes in the backdrop of the release of
Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder and Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief
Hafeez Mohammed Saeed, suspected to be behind the Mumbai
attacks, from detention following a court order.

The talks between Malik and Sabharwal comes just three
days ahead of a meeting between India's Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on the
sidelines of BRIC Summit in Russia.

Immediately after Saeed was released, India had voiced
its disappointment, saying it raises serious doubts over
Pakistan's sincerity in acting with determination against
terrorist groups and individuals operating from its territory.

Saeed was put under house arrest on December 11 last
year after the UN Security Council banned JuD, declaring it a
front for Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is blamed by India for the
November 26 Mumbai attacks that killed over 160 people.

Five LeT activists, including Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and
Zarar Shah, are currently being tried by an anti-terrorism
court in Rawalpindi for alleged involvement in the Mumbai
attacks. PTI
