India tells Pakistan to Hand over 20 wanted terrorists.
A Pakistani government minister said that Pakistan will "frame a response" to India’s demand that it hand over 20 of India’s most wanted men,
"We have to look at it formally once we get it and we will frame a response," Pakistan Information minister Sherry Rehman told reporters in Islamabad.
Indian Foreign minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters that the demand was contained in a protest note handed to Pakistan’s ambassador yesterday.
Pakistan has warned US that if tension with India escalates, it will move its troops from its Afghan border ,where it is fighting with al-Qaida and Taliban fighters responsible for violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan to the Indian border. That would be a serious blow to US-led efforts to stabilize Afghanistan and defeat al-Qaida.
The men on the most wanted list include Dawood Ibrahim, a Mumbai underworld don, and Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani Muslim cleric freed from jail in India in exchange for passengers on a hijacked plane.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who will visit India on Wednesday, has played down the threat of conflict.
