India should share any attack information - Pakistan

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan has summoned a senior Indian diplomat and called for India to share information about any terrorist plots after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh warned of plans for attacks against his country being hatched in Pakistan.

Relations between the nuclear-armed rivals deteriorated sharply in November after militants launched attacks in Mumbai, killing 166 people.

Singh told a security conference in New Delhi on Monday there was "credible information" of plans by terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out attacks on India.

Pakistan responded to the remarks by summoning India's deputy high commissioner in Islamabad, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued late on Monday.

"The Indian prime minister's remarks warrant serious and prompt attention," the ministry said.

"We would request India to share information that they have and for our part we stand ready to cooperate fully in pre-empting any act of terror."

India blamed the Mumbai attacks on Pakistan-based militants and broke off a five-year-long peace process.

Pakistan accepted that the assault on India's financial hub was partly planned on its soil and arrested five people who India said were behind the attack. Pakistan has repeatedly called on India to provide more information to act against the plotters.

Pakistan is keen to revive the peace talks but India has been insisting Pakistan must first dismantle terrorist infrastructure on its soil
