FBI director arrives in Pakistan: officials


ISLAMABAD (AFP) — The director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrived in Pakistan Wednesday to help investigate last year's Mumbai attacks, officials said.

New Delhi blamed the attacks, which killed 165 people last November, on the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the siege soured a five-year peace process between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan.

FBI director Robert Mueller will hold talks with Pakistan interior ministry chief Rehman Malik on Wednesday, a ministry official told AFP.

Mueller is heading a team which has just held meetings in India and would assist Pakistani investigators by providing further intelligence information, he added.

US embassy spokesman Jeremiah Knight also confirmed Mueller's arrival in Islamabad, but declined to give details about his meetings.

Mueller's visit comes a day after unknown gunmen attacked Sri Lankan cricketers in the Pakistani city of Lahore which left six policemen and two civilians dead.

Indian police have charged the man accused of being the lone surviving gunman in the Mumbai attacks with murder and "waging war against India".

The suspect, Pakistan's Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman -- also known as Kasab -- was the only alleged member of the 10-man Islamist commando-style unit captured alive during the November 26-29 siege.

Both LeT and Pakistan have denied any involvement in the attacks but the government in Islamabad admitted last month for the first time that the strikes were partly planned on its soil.

Islamabad said it had filed a case against eight people suspected of a role in the attacks, and that six of them were in custody.

Is it a coincidence that he wants to investigate Mumabai when Pakistanis are busy investigating Lahore attacks? Should we trust these goraiys? How can we be so sure that they wont trick us again like they did in 1947?

The Director of the FBI is worried about this new ''style'' of terrorism hitting his own backyard. Therefore, the visit is to listen. learn and upgrade the Homeland Security to prevent such incidents to happen in the US. At the same time he is also here to supervise the negotiations for the release of Mr. Solecki of the UN who was kidnapped in Quetta by the BLF.

Sir Fatman.
I agree with you that such visits are arranged well in advance. It maybe that pakisan asks FBI to also investigate the attack on the Sri Lankan team. However, it is a fact of life that indian attack will carry more weight than the plight of poor pakistan!!

man i think Pakistan will be better off if FBI didnt investigate this...US is so biased against Muslims.

remember when Obama made a speech about mutual respect and mutual interst for the Muslim world, well after the speech he bombed our territory.

what does that tell you about US?

Omar.
it is not a question of whether we are better off or not. Unfortunately, we have lost credibility in the world and all these are steps to get some of it back. You have to agree that our police's practices are clearly nothing short of draconian. It is multifactorial and there are a lot of training and educating issues that need to be resolved. we need a peel commission here aswell.
