Evidence given on Mumbai attack not credible: Pak

Pakistan today dismissed as "not credible" evidence provided by India to it on the Mumbai terror attacks, hours after a Presidential aide termed as "premature" local media reports that suggested the material given by New Delhi was insufficient.

Addressing the Foreign Relations Committee of the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Malik Amad Khan and Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir questioned the credibility of the evidence on the Mumbai attacks provided by India yesterday.

They claimed that India had not given any "credible evidence" about the Mumbai incident. Pakistan wants credible information in accordance with the law, they said.

The dossier submitted by India had some details that were "not credible", Bashir said during the session that was open to the media.

Their remarks came shortly after Presidential spokesman Farahtullah Babar described as "premature" reports in a section of the Pakistani media which said the information handed over by India was insufficient and could not serve as the basis for action by Pakistan.

In an apparent reference to India's demand for Pakistan to hand over terror suspects linked to the Mumbai attacks, Bashir said there was no extradition treaty between the two countries.
