26/11 handler's arrest: Pak offers India counter-terror coop

New Delhi, Jul 26:

today offered India counter-

cooperation in the backdrop of the arrest of Abu Jundal, a LeT terrorist and key handler of attackers who struck Mumbai in 2008.

Maintaining that Pakistan has been at the forefront in the campaign against terror, the Pakistan High Commission here said terrorism is a common concern.

"As agreed at the highest level between Pakistan and India, terrorism is a common concern and counter-terrorism cooperation is in the mutual interest of both countries. "Pakistan has renewed its offer of cooperation in this domain," the High Commission said in a statement without elaborating.

Jundal, alias Zaibuddin Ansari, was arrested by Delhi Police after he was deported by Saudi Arabia on Jun 21. He had been staying there on a Pakistani passport and a stunning report revealed that he was on a mission for LeT.
