| India says Pakistan shown as terror 'sanctuary' |

| [Dawn] The killing of al-Qaeda criminal mastermind the late Osama bin Laden ... who no longer exists... near Islamabad is further evidence that Death Eaters find "sanctuary" in Pakistain, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram said Monday. "We take note with grave concern that part of the statement in which President B.O. said that the firefight in which Osama bin Laden was killed took place in Abbottabad 'deep inside Pakistain'," Chidambaram said in a statement. "This fact underlines our concern that Death Eaters belonging to different organisations find sanctuary in Pakistain," Chidambaram said as Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged Islamabad to take action against beturbanned goons. "The international community and Pakistain in particular must work comprehensively to end the activities of all such groups who threaten civilised behaviour and kill innocent men, women and kiddies," Singh said. The premier said he hoped bin Laden's killing would deal a "decisive blow to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups." India accuses Pakistain of providing shelter and support to beturbanned goon groups planning attacks on Indian soil and has repeatedly pushed the global community -- the United States in particular -- to censure Pakistain accordingly. US President Barack B.O.Obama said the operation to kill bin Laden was the result of cooperation with Pakistain, but US officials admitted that they had not informed Islamabad before the strike by US forces. Home Minister Chidambaram focused on India's belief that perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks continue to be sheltered in Pakistain. "We once again call upon the government of Pakistain to arrest the persons whose names have been handed over," he said. In a separate statement, Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna said the US success in killing bin Laden was an "historic development and victorious milestone" in the global war on terror. But, in another clear reference to Pakistain, he also stressed the need to root out beturbanned goon safe havens in South Asia. "The world must not let down its united effort to overcome terrorism and eliminate the safe havens and sanctuaries that have been provided to Death Eaters in our own neighbourhood," he said. |
