Washington also said it would like to see more exchange of information between the two countries on investigations relating to the 26/11 strikes.
Responding to a question about Indian Army confirming on Wednesday that Pakistan had redeployed troops along its tense border with India, State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack told reporters the US is watching the situation very carefully and has been talking to both India and Pakistan in managing the tension.
"To this point, both sides have managed to do that successfully. Some of these troop movements notwithstanding, both on the Indian side as well as the Pakistani side, we have seen some of these deployments. But overall, relatively speaking, we have seen some cooperation between India and Pakistan," McCormack said.
Asked about the simmering Indo-Pak tensions, McCormack said: "Thus far, each side has managed the aftermath of Mumbai in such a way that the tensions haven't escalated in a way that has been unhelpful to maintaining peace and stability."
McCormack also said the US would like to see "more exchange of information about the Mumbai attacks, so that you can get to the bottom of exactly who was responsible, see the entire plot and hold all responsible for their actions."
McCormack said such cooperation is also needed to "make sure that in doing so you prevent any further plots from getting to point of execution".
"We've seen some of that. We'd like to see more. I think Mr (Richard) Boucher (the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia) put it, I think, very neatly in saying each side has pieces to the puzzle that the other doesn't, so in order to complete the picture, here, they need to cooperate," he said.

The essence of the story is : Pak has managed it well, US is amused. Mirror, mirror on the wall "Who is a good manager at the end?"
This is the double speak of US. They cannot force the Pak authorities to handover the lmost wanted terrorist list nor they can insist them to enforce a compleate ban on JuD and LeT, becasue they want the Pak co-operartion in tackling the Talibans conflict in Afghan. But they don't want to see the truth that thest JuD and LeT are the associates of the Talibhans. If things get worsen nobody cannot rule out the possibility of being fallen of the nuke arms and lethan weapons into the hands of these terrorist goups being the govt of Pak is weaken one and the puppet of the Military, ISI and the co-called terrorist groups. They cannot act themselves if they want to be so and so is the US
Congratulations! but what about retribution that was promised
US seems to be really scared that if war breaks out between India and Pakistan, some of the Pak's Chinese missiles could fall into the wrong hands and would eventually land in the US. That is why US is so desperately trying to calm India
