INDO-PAK 2 LAST

Krishna and Qureshi were again together in Kabul
earlier this month during the swearing-in of President Hamid
Karzai for the second month. During a lunch hosted by Afghan
Foreign Minister Rangin Dadfar Spanta, Krishna enquired from
Qureshi about the progress in the Mumbai attacks case and
impressed upon him the need to speed it up.

India feels that the punishment to the culprits,
however, still seems to be distant dream, considering the slow
pace of legal process, that has been interrupted by technical
hiccups, in Pakistan.
New Delhi is further disappointed by Islamabad's
attitude in connection with the arrest of Laskhar-e-Toiba
operatives David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana,
Pakistani-origin nationals, held by the FBI in Chicago last
month for planning major attacks in India.
On the basis of inputs from FBI, Pakistan has arrested
a number of people having links with Headley and Rana but
India has heard nothing officially from Pakistan in this
connection. This attitude, the sources point out, is despite
Pakistan's repeated assurances by Pakistan to cooperate in
fighting terrorism directed against India.
Krishna, in the meanwhile, has met his Sri Lankan
counterpart Rohitha Bogollagama here and discussed the latest
developments in Sri Lanka, particularly with regard to
rehabilitation of displaced Tamils. PTI AKK
