    Pakistan's Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik has confirmed the arrest of one more suspect in the Mumbai terror attacks and asked India to provide more information to proceed against those detained for perpetrating the carnage.

    Malik said six suspects have so far been arrested in connection with last year's Mumbai attacks. He did not give details of the sixth person arrested by Pakistani authorities.

    The interior ministry had earlier confirmed the arrest of five suspects - Lashker-e-Taiba operatives Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Abu al Qama and Shahid Jamil Riaz. They are all currently in judicial custody.

    Malik made it clear that Pakistan could not punish the suspects it had arrested unless India provided more information about the Mumbai attacks, including the statement recorded in court by Ajmal Amir Kasab.

    "We can't punish them unless we have proof," he told reporters at the marriage of the son of a senior Pakistan People's Party leader late Sunday night.

    Pakistan needs the chargesheet filed against Kasab by Indian authorities, he said, adding the country is committed to bringing the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to justice but it can act only after India provides more information.

    Malik said Pakistan has always condemned terrorism anywhere in world and is framing a new national policy to counter the scourge.

    Pakistan has fallen into the ditch it dug for india By: kaili | 21-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward Since 1947 Pakistan tried its best to bleed and destablise India in the name of Jehad. While doing so it befooled the world in general and US in particulr. The world never cared to listen to Indian Pleas that Pakistan was the Hub of Terror. Pakistan was not only the first but the only country to recognise Taliban and even provided the HQ for the so called Taliban govt.It was only after 9/11 the USA and the world woke up to the reality but was once again misled by Pakistan that it has changed sides now to Fight terror and got massive financial help by pretending to fight terror but actually kept doing otherwise.Now the same Taliban and AlQuada to whom Pakistan nurtured have threatened the very existence of Pakistan.USA and the world have realised the mistake but it is too late.

    More ProofBy: PS | 20-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward More and more proof needed, for what? Just for learn and correct their mistakes and get ready to subsequent attacks. Even those masterminders confess their plan and execution pakistan will not take any action. They are special guests in pakistan government so called custody.
    Pakistani TerrorismBy: Anant | 20-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward The truth is that Pakistan has not got the courage or capability to stop terrorism. Terrorists have infilterated into all sections of the Pakistani establishment and their civil society. It is indeed fruitless to look to Pakistan either to catch, punish or stop terrorism. India is wasting its time to ask Pakistan to stop terrorism. How can civil government of Pakistan punish ISI or their own army since these two organisation train and arm the terrorists and are more powerful than the civil society.
    This an ice berBy: IMDAD.GILANI | 20-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward I very firmly believe that there many more terrorists who are hiding in Pakistan and yet be arrested because pakistni Govt are not willing to arrest them or this Govt is unable to do so My request to the prime of minister of India to ask ite counterpart to hand over these arrested terrorist to India and case should be started against such killers if they are not handed over then there is very little chance that these killer would be broght to book,so without losing a minute our Govt come to quick action and demands for thses terrorists to be handed over to India
