India has provided Pakistan further details about involvement of Jamaat-ud-Dawaa chief Hafiz Saeed in Mumbai terror attacks on the basis of disclosures made by Pakistani-American Lashker operative David Headley and made it clear that action against him and other handlers would be a major confidence building measure.
During the meetings between Home Minister P Chidambaram and his Pakistani counterpart Rahman Malik which went on till late oN Friday night, the Indian side also gave a list of other terror activities emanating from Pakistan and cross-border violations, sources said. The Indian side gave a list of Pakistanis killed in Jammu and Kashmir in the last few months, they said. Chidambaram, the first Indian Home Minister to visit Pakistan in three decades, and Malik held formal talks for about two hours and continued the discussions for about 90 minutes at a dinner hosted by the Pakistan Interior Minister. Chidambaram made it clear that Pakistan needed to act with urgency against all those responsible for the Mumbai attacks and identified in the 11 dossiers that India has handed over since the attacks in November 2008, sources said.

Earlier, Chidambaram had said that Pakistan can surely give voice samples of handlers as it is universally acknowledged that handlers were in Pakistan. "We think we know who the handlers were. Surely, they can give us voice samples. We have recordings on our side." When asked whether India will accept Pakistan giving voice samples to any third country, he said: "I suggested one time that don't give it to us. Give it to a third country so that it is subjected to forensic analysis in a third country. Significantly, chiefs of intelligence agencies of India and Pakistan are going to meet in Islamabad before Chidambaram and the delegation leaves for home on Sunday.
