* PM says details ‘very soon’

DAVOS: Pakistani investigators have completed the initial investigation of information regarding the Mumbai attacks, provided by India in a dossier on January 5, and found the attacks were not planned in Pakistan, a private TV channel reported on Wednesday.

The channel quoted its sources as saying that investigators had submitted the initial inquiry report to the Interior Ministry.

According to the report, the Mumbai attacks were planned outside Pakistan, the channel said, without elaborating if the probe had been able to determine where the attacks had been planned.

The Interior Ministry would review the inquiry report in a high-level meeting today (Thursday) and the findings are likely to be publicised on January 31, the channel reported.

Release: Meanwhile, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Pakistan would release the details of the investigation into the Mumbai attacks ‘very soon’.

“If there is anything substantive, we will certainly share (it) with the world,” he told Reuters in an interview in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, where business and political leaders are attending the four-day World Economic Forum.

“Very soon, whatever the findings, will come to the world,” he said, adding that he first hoped for more cooperation from India. daily times monitor/reuters
