WASHINGTON:
The US has shared “credible evidence” with Pakistan on LeT operations commander Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi’s involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attack, a senior official has said, days after America reminded Pakistan of its commitment to bring 26/11 perpetrators to justice.
“The US has provided credible evidence (on Lakhvi) to Pakistan,” a senior US official said on condition of anonymity.
The official, however, did not give any details on the issue, saying this is an ongoing legal matter.
The information provided by the US to Pakistan on Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operations commander Lakhvi and others related to the Mumbai terrorist attack is credible, the official said.
The detailed information shared by the US on individuals related to the Mumbai terrorist attack is based on the interrogation of David Headley, who is currently serving a jail sentence for his involvement in the attack.
Various security agencies and intelligence wings of the United States have done their own investigation with regard to the Mumbai terrorist attack.
“To date, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have provided extensive assistance in the investigation of the Mumbai attacks, including substantial evidentiary assistance,” a US Government official said.
“As President Obama has stated, the Mumbai perpetrators, financers, and sponsors must be held accountable for their crimes, and we have called on all Governments to do just that,” the official said. (AGENCIES)
