Islamabad, Nov. 29: Pakistani security agencies have made no progress in their pursuit of 20 people suspected of involvement in the 2008 attack on India’s commercial capital Mumbai which killed 166 people, a senior security official said on Monday.
Pakistan has acknowledged that the attack was plotted and partly launched from its soil, and has put on trial seven suspects linked to the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) militant group, which was blamed for the attacks.
But India says it is not satisfied with the pace of the Pakistani investigation and has demanded more people be put on trial for the attack, including the founder of the LeT, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed.
Pakistani newspaper, the Express Tribune, in its online edition said the counter-terrorism wing of a Pakistani federal agency has identified the 20 suspects as mostly LeT affiliates.
