Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday chaired a meeting of security aides on the Pathankot attack and Pakistan's response on it.

The official's comments provided an insight into Pakistan's planned response to India on the shared leads about the attack.

The information include intercepts of telephone calls made by the militants to their handlers, and the locations of the numbers which they had called in Pakistan.

Sharif, who had telephoned his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, assured him of "prompt and decisive action" against those found guilty.

Militant organisation Jaish-e-Muhammad was behind the attack, Indian officials said.
