Islamabad : Unable to secure conviction of several terror accused in recent months, Pakistan, which is trying seven people, including Lashkar’s Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, for their involvement in the 26/11 attacks, is suggesting that India help in bringing this case to a “logical conclusion”.The Sunday Express has learnt that the Indian demand for voice-samples of these seven accused, who are lodged in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, has been met with an almost identical demand by Pakistan.
Arguing that it needs all the evidence it can to get the seven convicted, Pakistan is seeking voice-recordings of the men who were talking to the 26/11 gunmen.
“Around 350 people have been acquitted in Pakistan in terror-related cases in the past one year. Despite a tough law against terror, the Pakistan government is finding it difficult to secure convictions,” sources said.
India is learnt to have conveyed its “anguish” over the pace of the trial of Lakhvi and others.
