New Delhi: Pakistan yesterday (Sept 26, 2006)assured to 'examine every evidence' that India provides with regard to its fugitives, including Dawood Ibrahim, under the joint mechanism on anti-terrorism set up by the two countries.

"Pakistan will examine any evidence or every evidence that India gives with regard to any apprehensions they have," Islamabad's High Commissioner Aziz Ahmed Khan told sources.

Asked whether Islambad would look into the matter of Dawood, one of the most wanted men in India believed to be in Pakistan, he said including everyone.

The envoy said his country expected the same from India.

"We will examine just as we would expect India to examine whatever we convey to them of our apprehensions," Khan said.

India has been pressing Pakistan to hand over Dawood, the prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts, who is believed to be living in Karachi.

Pakistan has, however, been denying his existence in that country.

New Delhi has also been seeking deportation from Pakistan of 19 other top wanted terrorists and criminals, including Lashker-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Mohd Sayed, Jaish-e-Mohammad leader Masood Azhar and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin.
