US wants Pak to act and show results on 26/11 prosecution

New Delhi, Nov 18 (PTI) Ahead of Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh's visit to Washington, the US Wednesday pressed
Pakistan to act against perpetrators of Mumbai attacks,
including Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, saying it wants to
see results.
Describing Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as a global threat, US
Ambassador to India Timothy J Roemer said Pakistan should
recognise the dangers and dismantle the terror infrastructure
existing on its soil.
Situation in Pakistan, the Mumbai attacks and cooperation
in counter-terrorism will be high on the agenda of Singh's
meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington on November
24, amid the US' keenness to work "hand-in-hand,
shoulder-to-shoulder" with India in preventing terror strikes.
The two leaders will also discuss implementation of the
historic civil nuclear agreement, regarding which a few issues
like liabilities, licensing and reprocessing, remain to be
sorted out.
Climate change, education and poverty-alleviation would
also be among the issues of discussion of the Singh-Obama
meeting during which the two sides are expected to unveil a
"new relationship based on strategic global partnership" and
chalk out path of cooperation for meeting global challenges.
"The seven Mumbai suspects should be brought to justice
in Pakistan... We need to see action and results from our
partners in Pakistan," Roemer told a press conference here,
adding even Saeed should be brought to justice. (MORE) PTI AKK
