Paris: India has provided no proof that the surviving gunman involved in the deadly attacks in Mumbai, or any of his nine slain colleagues, were Pakistanis, Pakistan s foreign minister said here today.
"We're not denying it, we're not accepting it," Shah Mohammed Qureshi told reporters during a trip to Paris. "If you (India) have any evidence, share this evidence with us." Mumbai police earlier said that the surviving gunman had written to the Pakistan High Commission in India seeking legal help. The gunman, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman, has also asked Pakistani officials to take custody of the body of another gunman who was killed in a gunfight.
Iman faces a string of charges including "making war against the country, murder, attempted murder and other charges under the arms and explosives act." India says all 10 attackers came from Pakistan and has stepped up pressure on its neighbour to crack down on Islamic militants after the attacks last month. But Pakistan has repeatedly said there is still no proof that this is the case.
