Pakistan offers to help India probe Mumbai blasts

ISLAMABAD, July 13: Pakistan said today it was ready to help India's investigation into the Mumbai bomb blasts that killed 186 people.

''Pakistan stands ready along with the international community to help India's investigation, because terrorism is a global problem,'' foreign ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told Reuters.

She said such help would be unconditional and in no way dependent on a resolution of Pakistan's dispute with India over Kashmir.

President Pervez Musharraf made a similar offer to share information to help Indian investigators in the aftermath of a series of bomb blasts that killed 69 people in New Delhi last October.
