Pakistan Interior Minister Rahman Malik underlined the need for India and Pakistan to put in place a proper system of information sharing to combat the menace of terrorism jointly. Describing the recent meeting between the two sides as "excellent" and "a step forward" for relationship, Malik said he had assured his Indian counterpart P Chidambaram that his country will positively look into the requests for voice samples of Mumbai attacks' Lashkar-e-Tayiba handlers.
Pakistani TV channels reported that Zardari's two daughters Asifa and Bakhtawar were also accompanying him, but there was no official word on it
"He (Shahzad) visited Pakistan seven times in the last few years and he met Hakimullah Mehsud and also met other people, (including) leaders of the Taliban," Rahman Malik told media persons in Pabbi town in the country's northwest.
The Pakistan government on Monday scrapped a controversial peace deal signed last month with the Taliban that had been bitterly opposed by the United States but the Taliban militia said it was still holding the truce.
Pakistan may want to undertake a 'false flag' operation in J&K to divert attention from the situation in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but infiltrating one SSG battalion into J&K and having two SSG battalions waiting to follow suit means war, which Pakistan cannot afford in its current economic crisis, notes Lieutenant General Prakash Katoch (retd).
