Pak denying proof of 26/11 links unhelpful: UK

New Delhi, Jan 01, 2008

Describing as unhelpful, Pakistan's statements rejecting the proof of its link to the Mumbai attackers, Britain on Wednesday asked Islamabad to "cooperate fully" with India and "follow through" on actions against the perpetrators.

In view of reports that the attacks were mounted from Pakistani soil, Britain has asked Pakistan to cooperate with Indian investigation efforts and for both countries to work together, the Foreign Office said.

"We urge the Pakistani government to cooperate fully with the Indian investigation, it is important that action is taken against those responsible," he said.

"However some statements from Pakistan leadership, denying existence of proof of Pakistani link to terrorists are not helpful," he told agencies.

The spokesman said the UK is "encouraging all concerned to avoid inflammatory words or actions," besides looking to Pakistan "to follow through on actions against the Mumbai perpetrators".

One Briton died and several others were caught in the terror attacks that were closely followed in Britain by people of Indian origin and others.

In places across Britain, events were organised to mourn the victims of the attacks.
