New Delhi, Nov 28 (UNI) Chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha, will come to India to assist Indian authorities probe the Mumbai terror attacks.

The decision by Pakistan to send Lt Gen Pasha to India follows a request by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani during a telephonic conversation today.

Dr Singh had yesterday said the ''well-planned and well-orchestrated attacks,'' had ''external linkages.''
