ISLAMABAD, Feb 20: A Foreign Office spokesman Wednesday said India had already rejected Islamabad’s offer for cooperation regarding Dec 13 terrorist attack on the Indian parliament.

He was responding to queries about the Indian request for sharing of information revealed by Ahmed Omar Sheikh to Pakistani authorities.

The spokesman recalled that immediately after the Dec 13 terrorist attack, Pakistan had offered cooperation to India, including a joint inquiry into the incident.

“India not only rejected this offer but also refused to share any evidence relating to the attack with Pakistan,” he added.

The spokesman pointed out that the investigation regarding the kidnapping of American journalist Daniel Pearl was in progress.

“Mr Sheikh was in custody and was being questioned in that connection,” he added.

However, the spokesman said, the Sindh police had already denied the speculative reports appearing in a section of the Pakistan press regarding the so-called “revelations”. —APP
