    • Agencies Tags : world, pakistan, terrorists hand over, no extradition treaty, qureshi Posted: Sunday , Jan 04, 2009 at 1809 hrs Islamabad:
    Shah Mahmood Qureshi
    Pak has insisted that there was no extradition treaty between the India and Pak to hand over terror suspects.

    On the eve of a top US diplomat's visit in Islamabad to push Pakistan to act against the Mumbai attack perpetrators, Islamabad on Sunday rejected India's demand to hand over terror suspects linked to the strikes, insisting that there was no extradition treaty between the two countries.

    There can be no comparison between Pakistan's extradition of terror suspects to the US and India's demand for the handing over of persons linked to the Mumbai attacks, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said.

    "We have a treaty with the US, we do not have an extradition treaty with India. Please do not compare, every situation is not identical," Qureshi told a news conference in his hometown of Multan.

    Pakistan will frame a response on matters related to the Mumbai attacks only when it receives "something officially from India", he said, adding that no information had so far been shared by New Delhi with Islamabad.

    The Foreign Minister's comments came a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked Pakistan to hand over terror suspects linked to the Mumbai attacks.

    Qureshi said he would meet US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher on Monday during his visit to Pakistan.

    Boucher is travelling to the region to urge India and Pakistan to push forward the probe into the Mumbai attacks and for action against the perpetrators of the terrorist strike that killed over 180 people.

    Qureshi said the tensions sparked by the Mumbai attacks had been defused due to the intervention of "friends and important nations in the region and beyond."

    Extradition to and trial in the USBy: Som Karamchetty, PHD | 05-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Pakistan claims that it extradites terrorists to the Us as it has an extradition agreement with the US but not with India. As US citizens were also killed in the Mumbai attacks, the US could ask for the extradition of the attackers and try them in the US courts. When Mr. Chidambaram visits the US, he should ask the US to try these attackers thusly. US had previously apprehended international terrorists and tried them in the US courts. Death sentences are duly executed in the US. If the Pakistan based terrorists get due justice in the US for their attacks in India, it may be a good outcome under the current circumstances.

    Time is not far awayBy: P.Kulandavelu | 04-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward It looks all like child's play.India knows Pak.will not hand over the terrorists who masterminded the Mumbai attack,and Pakistan knows that india will always speak only.If Pak. really wants to avoid war or to have good relations with India, they should atleast sincerely prevent the crossing of terrorists from Pakistan to India.Time is not for away,An end will come to the atrocities of terror gangs and an end for the ignorence of Pak.towards the terror outfits in their soil. To save their country from internal destabilisation,Pak.must give full freedom for the news medias,and without wasting time they should go for allout war with those outfits who are trying to destbilise the country.

    TREATY OR THE LIFE OF 190 INNOCENETS VALID ???By: ANIYAN | 04-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward THE CASUAL TALK ON THE WAR WAGED BY MEN FROM HIS COUNTRY, IS DEPLORABLE. IN THE BEGINNING, HE MAINTAINED OF NO INVOLVEMENT FROM PAK SOIL. NEXT WAS THE DENIAL OF KASAB BEING A PAK NATIONAL. SUBSEQUENTLY, DISOWNING HIM AND RULING OUT ANYONE IN PAK SOIL WHO DID THIS COWARDLY ACT. NOW HE TALKS OF THE EXTRADITION TREATY. THE MAN, WHO SPEAKS FLUENT AND STYLED LANGUAGE, APPEARS TO BE OUT OF THE GOOD EDUCATION ATTAINED, FAIL TO REALIZE THAT ALL THE STATEMENTS THAT CAME OUT FROM HIM, HIS PM, HIS PRESIDENT AND OTHERS FROM TIME TO TIME ARE RECORDED BY THE WORLD COMMUNITY, THE WORLD LEADERS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE OVER 1 BILLION PEOPLE OF INDIA. WHILE WE COULD UNDERSTAND THE HANDICAPNESS OF THE CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION IN PAKISTAN TO ACT, AS A COUNTRY, IT SHOULD TRY TO UPHOLD ITS PRESTIGE AND VALUE BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, IF IT HAS ANY LEFT. IF THIS IS NOT DONE, IT IS TIME FOR THE WORLD TO ACT, TO BRING THEM INTO BOOK, WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY.
