26/11 attacks: India demands decisive action against Saeed

KRISHNA-LD PAK

New York, Sep 23 (PTI) Demanding decisive action against
Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohd Saeed for being the
"chief conspirator" of the Mumbai attacks, India has cautioned
Pakistan against camouflaging the issue, saying "we can see
through the game".

"We want Saeed to be tried for his Mumbai attack,"
External Affairs Minister of India S M Krishna told the 'Wall
Street Journal' on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly
here.
"They (Pakistan) are trying to camouflage the whole idea
to suit themselves. So India cannot be lulled into some kind
of satisfaction that they are proceeding against them. We can
see through the game," he said, adding India wants more
decisive action against the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks.

Krishna's remarks follow Pakistan Premier Yousuf Raza
Gilani's statement that Saeed, also founder of Lashker-e-Taiba
(LeT), "is in custody" but he did not make it clear whether he
was arrested.

Pakistan's move against Saeed came after police booked
him under the Anti-Terrorism Act for inciting people to wage
'jehad' and seeking funds for his banned group.

Krishna, who is set to meet his Pakistani counterpart
Shah Mahmood Qureshi on September 27 here during which the
Mumbai attacks would be the "focal point", said that Saeed
"has been put under house arrest for certain inflammatory
speeches he made in some part of Pakistan.

"What India is interested in, according to the six
dossiers provided by India to the Pakistani government, (is)
evidence we provided to show how Saeed was the chief
conspirator in the attack on Mumbai. So we want Saeed to be
tried for his Mumbai attack." (More) PTI KIM
