Islamabad:

Pakistan on Thursday asked India to provide additional information on the Mumbai attacks "as soon as possible" so that it could put up a "credible prosecution" of all persons arrested by it for involvement in the terrorist strikes.

Pakistan will not be able to "put up a credible prosecution" of the persons arrested for alleged involvement in the terror attacks if New Delhi does not provide the additional information sought by Islamabad, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said.

Pakistan is "very serious" about bringing to justice the persons it has arrested and it is thus necessary for India to provide the additional information and evidence "as soon as possible," Basit told a weekly news briefing.

He was responding to a question on reported comments by Indian leaders about Pakistan not being serious about taking action against the persons it has arrested.

India has provided a dossier on the Mumbai attacks and responded to Pakistan's 30 questions seeking additional information. Pakistan handed over to India another request for additional information last month.
