Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said, India has given fresh leads relating to the Pathankot airbase terror attack. He said, Pakistan is verifying the facts to bring the perpetrators to justice.
He was speaking in London on his arrival from Davos after attending the World Economic Forum. Mr Sharif said, a Pakistani investigation team will also visit India to collect further information on the attack. He said this on a day when US President Barack Obama termed the Pathankot terror strike as another example of the inexcusable terrorism that India has endured for too long. Earlier, Obama said, Pakistan has an opportunity to show that it is serious about delegitimising, disrupting and dismantling terror networks.
India gave specific and actionable information to Pakistan soon after the Pathankot attack reportedly carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists on the intervening night of January 1st and 2nd. Seven security personnel and six terrorists were killed in the attack.
