India shares terrorist info with Pakistan

NEW DELHI, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- With Islamabad announcing it thwarted a major suicide plot, Indian officials said they would continue to supply Pakistan with evidence on terrorist attacks.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week said he had "credible information" that suggested members of the Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Toiba were planning additional attacks on India.

Following his announcement, a district court in India said it received two bomb threats against interests related to the trial of LeT suspect Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving gunman in the November attacks on Mumbai.

Somanahalli Mallaiah Krishna, the Indian foreign minister, said New Delhi would continue providing Islamabad with terrorist evidence as it was collected, the Pakistani Daily Times newspaper reports.

"We are in constant touch with the government of Pakistan," he said. "As and when we collect more evidence we will keep sending it across to Pakistan."

Meanwhile, police in Karachi, Pakistan, announced the arrest of seven militants Monday who were suspected of plotting suicide attacks in the region.

The arrests follow the weekend detention of seven militants with the al-Qaida affiliated Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, The New York Times reports.

LeJ militant Amjad Hussain Farooqi was among those arrested during the weekend. He is accused of plotting to assassinate former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and allegedly played a role in the 2002 beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
