British PM to visit India
AFP - Sunday, December 14
KABUL (AFP) - - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will head to India late Saturday for talks with his counterpart Manmohan Singh following the devastating Mumbai attacks, an AFP correspondent travelling with him said.
Brown, who made a surprise visit to Afghanistan on Saturday, will meet with Singh on Sunday to discuss the security situation in the region.
A British-Cypriot businessman was killed in the 60-hour siege on India's financial centre in which 172 people died, including nine gunmen.
Western powers have engaged in intensive diplomacy to try to defuse tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, which New Delhi blames on elements in Pakistan.
The two South Asian states have fought three wars since independence from Britain and ties have been seriously damaged by the attacks.
India has ruled out military action against Pakistan following the carnage in Mumbai, but described its neighbour as being at the "epicentre" of the attacks.
Singh on Saturday piled new pressure on Pakistan to crack down on Islamic militants, citing a "moral duty" to combat terrorism.
Pakistan has arrested dozens of members of a charity said to be a front for militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) -- which India accused of planning the attacks.
Islamabad this week placed the charity's leader Hafiz Saeed under house arrest and ordered its assets frozen after the UN Security Council listed it as a terror group.
Brown told British troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan they were on the front line of a "chain of terror" which ran from the mountainous Afghan-Pakistan border region and could end up on the streets of Britain.
