Will Pakistan prosecute 26/11 attackers?
New Delhi: Home Minister P Chidambaram's hard talk on 26/11 in Washington, especially during his meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, seems to have had some effect. Her deputy said on Saturday that the Obama Administration is hopeful of some action by Pakistan.

"We would hope that the Pakistani authorities will continue their investigation and bring the perpetrators of the attacks to justice," P J Crowley, US Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, said.

The home minister also discussed the situation post 26/11 with told US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying that Pakistan was simply not doing enough on 26/11 - for one - Hafiz Saeed, the man behind 26/11 was roaming free despite the evidence provided by New Delhi.

While India raised its concerns about Pakistan making no progress on 26/1 with the US, Pakistan's former National Security Advisor Mahmood Ali Durrani who is in New Delhi, has told NDTV that his country is sincere towards prosecuting the perpetrators of 26/11. Durrani was sacked from his post after he acknowledged in public that Ajmal Kasab was a Pakistani national.
