Rehman Malik reported about Mombai Attack

Rehman Malik, after proper investigation, for the first time accepted that the Mumbai terrorist attacks were launched from its shores and at least partly plotted on its soil.
Rehman Malik also said Pakistan had arrested many of the main suspects, including those named by India as the masterminds of the attacks. He also added that Pakistan has started criminal proceedings against them, but reiterated that authorities needed more evidence from New Delhi to secure convictions. India called Thursday's announcement a "positive development" and the news was welcomed by Washington, which had feared tensions the attacks triggered between the nuclear-armed neighbors
Malik detailed how the gunmen had sailed from Karachi to carry out the attack that killed 179 people in the Indian financial capital in November last year. But meanwhile, he also pointed towards some involvement of indian people or agencies in the incident. He has asked 30 question from indian agencies, which has to be replied before reaching any conclusion.
