India not to approach Pakistan for information on LeT plot



New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI) India has decided not to approach
Pakistan for any information related to David Coleman Headley,
arrested by the FBI for plotting a major attack in India at
the behest of Lashkar-e-Taiba, despite an "obvious Pakistan
link" as it would be a futile move.

Government sources said Indian agencies are in constant
touch with the US investigators and gathering all information
and have decided not to approach Pakistani authorities even
though two persons were arrested in the neighbouring country
on the FBI's advice.
"We will not request Pakistan for any information as
such exercises in the past always proved to be futile.
So, whatever information is required, we will take it from
FBI and not from Pakistan," a source said.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister of India Manmohan
Singh said Pakistan has provided no information to India in
relation to the conspiracy.
Union Home Minister P Chidambaram has said, "there is an
obvious Pakistan link. (David Coleman) Headley visited
Pakistan a number of times and I think on the advice of the
FBI, two or perhaps more people have been arrested in
Pakistan". (More) PTI ACB
