PAK-MILIBAND 2

Seven suspects -- Lashker-e-Taiba operations commander
Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Abu
al-Qama, Shahid Jamil Riaz, Younas Anjum and Jamil Ahmed --
were last year charged by an anti-terrorism court for planning
and helping execute the assault on India's financial hub in
November 2008.

Last week, the court rejected their application for
acquittal.
In response to another question, Miliband said a civilian
democratic government is the "best kind of government for
Pakistan" and this had been shown by the Pakistan People's
Party-led administration established two years ago.
"I think that it's very important that all friends of
Pakistan support a civilian government here because it's a
vital basis for any kind of progress. The unity that now
exists between the people and government is evidence of that,"
he said.
The unity in Pakistan in the counter-terrorism field is
"extremely striking", Miliband said.
"The people and the government and security forces of
Pakistan recognise the shared threat that exists internally
and the need to unite (against it). That has given significant
confidence to the international community," he added.
Britain is committed to providing Pakistan development
aid of 665 million pounds over four years and political and
security cooperation between the two sides is "deep", he said.
