Islamabad: Pakistan will again seek access to witnesses of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks to record their statements and a formal request will be filed with India in this regard, according to a media report today.
This will be the second time that Pakistan will be making such a request, unnamed officials of the Interior Ministry were quoted as saying by ‘The Express Tribune’ newspaper.
The Federal Investigation Agency has identified 16 Indian citizens to testify regarding information shared by Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving attacker who has been sentenced to death by an Indian court.
If permission is received from New Delhi, a two-member Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team will travel to India and also discuss matters pertaining to post-mortem reports with officials of police stations in Mumbai, the officials were quoted as saying.
