The US administration is asking Pakistan to ensure that those responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks are punished inside the country instead of being extradited to India, according to a media report.
The Bush administration has told the Pakistan government that it would like Islamabad to initiate “prosecution with sufficient efforts to ensure conviction” of those behind the Mumbai terror attacks, leading daily, the Dawn, quoted US sources as saying.
It is “clear change” in the attitude of the US, which had earlier backed India’s demand that some of the suspects be extradited to India. The change has been noticed in New Delhi, where the foreign minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee said that the US pressure on Pakistan had “not produced tangible returns”, the report said.
