India to blame for 26/11: Pak

London, Aug. 28: India could have prevented the November terror attacks in Mumbai, Pakistan’s interior minister Mr Rehman A. Malik said in London on Thursday.

“Mumbai attacks may have never happened if India had shared information with us,” said Mr Malik, who is in London with the President, Mr Asif Ali Zardari.

Reacting to the Interpol red notice against Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed for his alleged involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks, Mr Malik said he needs to examine the dossier of evidence provided by India on the basis of which the Interpol issued the red corner notice.

“We will examine the Interpol red corner notice and the underlying evidence,” Mr Malik said.

Islamabad, he said, had to determine if the Indian dossier met procedural requirements.

Reacting to the Union home minister, Mr P.C. Chidambaram’s comments, Mr Malik said: “We need tangible evidence which can stand the test of court.”

“Have faith in our legal system,” Mr Malik said and added that five Lashkar terrorist were being tried for their links to the Mumbai terror attacks. He said two more terrorists had been arrested and would face trial with the five arrested earlier.

Pakistan had been “very transparent” in its investigations on the Mumbai terror attacks, he said and added that Islamabad would never allow “our side to be used” for launching terror attacks against India or any other country.
