Pakistan may seek train bomb extraditions
If India insists Pakistan extradite the suspected planners of the November Mumbai terror attacks, it will reciprocate with its own demands, an official said.
Pakistan wants India to extradite the alleged perpetrators of the 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings, a terrorist attack on the twice-weekly train service connecting Delhi, India, and Lahore, Pakistan, that killed 68 people. A Pakistani official said Sunday there would be an extradition quid-pro-quo, the Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported.
“If India (keeps) insisting on … handing over the suspects of the Mumbai attacks, we will also ask it to hand over the accused of the Samjhauta Express blast,” Adviser to the Prime Minister on Interior Rehman Malik said.
Malik repeated Pakistan’s commitment to wait and see if there is any substantial evidence about the Mumbai bombings provided to it by India. He also said Pakistan would arrest and try anyone that was found responsible for the Mumbai attacks, Dawn said.
