US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, who held talks with Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon soon after his arrival from Islamabad, stressed the need for tracking down individuals and organisations behind the Mumbai attacks by following leads ‘as far as they go’.
The US official, who has told the Pakistani leadership to take the probe into Mumbai attacks to its logical conclusion, briefed Menon on his discussions in Islamabad.
"The principal topic is the Mumbai attacks. It was a horrible attack against Indians, Americans and others. We will continue to follow up on that," Boucher said after meeting the Foreign Secretary.
He said the US and India are both ‘determined to find out who did this, how it was done and how to make sure it does not happen again.’
He said the US would keep making efforts to ensure that ‘this threat to Indians, Americans, whole world, including Pakistan, is eliminated.’
"I think what we have seen so far is what we have said-- it is a promising start. In Pakistan we have seen some people detained, we have seen offices go down, they (Pakistan government) are back against the Jaamat-ud Dawa," he said.

Yes, this is absolutely right. Its been more than one mth and still there is no positive response from the other side. Pakistan is a failled democracy and as along as there is effective one they r going to be a threat to India and other countries
Unless it hurts Pakistan directly their government will NOT admit that Pakistani nationals caused the mayhem in Mumbai, they will continue to fool the leaders in the West and continue to train militants in Pakistan who can then cross the border into India. Pakistani leaders think they can take Bush and Brown for a ride and so far it has worked. Only by opting for some surgical strikes India can destroy some militant camps in Pakistan and kill some militants. India should learn from a tiny country like Israel and attack the terrorists wherever they may be, Indian leadres keep running to USA looking for help; it is time they grow up understand the real world politics and go for revenge against the militants hiding in Pakistan.
