Bryson Hull NEW DELHI (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice flew to New Delhi on Tuesday hoping to ease tension between India and Pakistan that has surged over the Mumbai attacks and put at risk U.S. counterterrorism efforts in the region. The three-day rampage by 10 Islamist gunmen in India's financial capital last week stoked longstanding Indian suspicions that Pakistan is unwilling, or unable, to stop militants on its soil from attacking India. Rice cut short a European tour to go to India to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who is under election-year pressure to craft a muscular response to opposition criticism that his ruling Congress party is weak on security. In Washington, U.S. military officials said that Navy Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, had also traveled to the region on a similar mission. "Adm. Mullen is in the area, as is Secretary Rice," U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters. On Monday, India renewed a longstanding demand for about 20 fugitives it believes are hiding in Pakistan. Officials said the list includes Dawood Ibrahim, a Mumbai underworld boss blamed for 1993 bombings in Mumbai that killed 250, and Maulana Masood Azhar, a Pakistani Muslim cleric freed from jail in India in exchange for passengers on a hijacked jet. Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said military action was not being considered but later warned a peace process begun in 2004 was at risk if Pakistan did not act decisively. His Pakistani counterpart offered a joint probe to find the militants responsible for the killing spree in Mumbai in which 183 people were killed. "We don't want to do anything in haste. We don't want to do anything that fuels confrontation," Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters after an all-party meeting on relations with India. "We want to defuse the situation." Islamabad has yet to answer the demand for the fugitives. Pakistan has warned that any military escalation by India would prompt it to shift troops to the Indian border, and away from its western frontier with Afghanistan where U.S. forces are carrying out an anti-militant campaign. The United States, Britain and the European Union this week urged Pakistan's civilian government to cooperate with the probe. Islamabad denied involvement and condemned the attacks, and has said it is battling the same kind of enemy at home. Mumbai's police chief Hasan Gafoor said the attackers had trained for a year or more in commando tactics. Azam Amir Kasav, the only gunmen of the 10 not killed by commandos, told investigators he is a Pakistani citizen from Punjab, Gafoor said. Continued...
