Kasuri says Pak serious about Mumbai probe

New Delhi, Feb. 18 (ANI): Former Pakistani foreign minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri has said that Pakistan was serious about the investigations into the Mumbai terror attacks.

"Though I am in the opposition but I believe government of Pakistan is very serious. I am among those who, in case of community issues, rise above party lines," Kasuri told reporters on the sidelines of a book release in New Delhi.

The News quoted Kasuri, as saying, "I have worked very hard for the peace between Pakistan and India and I hope during my three or four day stay here I can take this process forward even as a ordinary citizen when I don't hold an office."

He said the Mumbai attack investigation was in progress and promised to do his best to foster peace between the neighbours. "I think the government of Pakistan is working and cooperating," Kasuri said, adding that people in both the nations wanted peace to prevail.

"Ninety-nine percent of common man on both sides of the border want peace but extremists are there in both India and Pakistan," he said. (ANI)
