PAK-INDIA 2 LAST

The Foreign Secretary said India has conveyed its
concerns to Pakistan with "all seriousness and emphasis" over
the "very very slow pace of not only action that is supposed
to be taken but the whole business of trial that they are
supposed to conduct against the accused."

Rao also voiced unhappiness over the absence of progress
in probe by Pakistan into the terror attack on Indian Embassy
in Kabul on July 7 last year, which was suspected to have been
carried out by Taliban in collaboration with Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI).
Responding to a question on it, she said there has been
"lack of progress from Pakistan side when it comes to
investigation of all the long series of terrorist attacks that
have been directed against us from their soil."
Afghanistan and India had then suggested that the attack
was carried out from Pakistani soil and intelligence agencies
were involved.
Two months later, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
took up the issue with his Pakistani counterpart Yusuf Raza
Gilani in Colombo on the sidelines of South Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit and the Pakistani
leader had promised an inquiry to ascertain whether ISI was
involved. Nothing was known about that later.
On the latest attack on the Kabul Embassy on October 8,
she said the Afghan leadership had pointed to "involvement of
forces that, in all likelihood, operated from across its
border", an apparent indication to Pakistan.
Rao, who visited Kabul after the attack and met Karzai
and Foreign Minister Rangin Dadfar Spanta, said Afghanistan is
conducting an inquiry into what happened and "we are awaiting
results of the full inquiry". PTI SKL
