Action against LeT only if there is proof: Pak

Phuket: Pakistan will take action against the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) if proof was found of its involvement in the Mumbai terrorist attacks, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said in Thailand on Thursday.

"We are waiting for the confessional statement of Kasab though appropriate channels," Qureshi said. He was referring to the confession Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone Mumbai attacker in Indian custody, made in a Mumbai court on Monday.

Qureshi's comments come days after India and Pakistan, on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement summit, agreed on July 16 to delink action on terror from the composite dialogue process.

Kasab, the only surviving member of the 10-member terrorist squad from Pakistan on Monday confessed his role in the mayhem that left over 170 people killed. He also admitted his nationality as Pakistani.
