India says not reached end of road on Mumbai attacks

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India has not exhausted its diplomatic options in its attempt to bring the Mumbai attack plotters to justice and would take further steps only if Pakistan does not act, India's foreign minister said on Saturday.
"We have not reached the end of the road," Pranab Mukherjee told CNN-IBN television channel, following a week in which India has shown increasing frustration at what it sees is Pakistan's unwillingness to bring the Mumbai attack plotters to justice.
Ten heavily armed gunmen killed 179 people in the attack on India's financial capital at the end of November. Only one attacker was captured alive.
India blamed Pakistani militants from the outset, but Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said this week for the first time that the assault must have had the support of "official agencies" in Pakistan.
Pakistan rejected the charge and the Indian media also raised questions whether India had enough proof to back Prime Minister Singh's statement.
"We have adequate information and circumstantial evidence,"
Mukherjee told The Statesman newspaper Saturday.
"It becomes difficult to believe that such a preparation is going on in a piece of land where there is a government, a civilian government, and it is fully unaware of it," the foreign minister added.
Islamabad said Friday it had sent New Delhi a response to a dossier of evidence from the Mumbai attacks, but India's foreign ministry denied receiving any reply.
The Mumbai attacks also revived tension between two nations that have fought three wars since 1947, leading to speculation in the media that India could carry out strikes against militant camps inside Pakistan.
Mukherjee declined to comment on what India's options were, but replying to a question on whether India was considering Israel-like strikes, he said the two issues could not be compared.
"I have not occupied in Pakistan's land, which Israel has done, so how is the situation comparable?" he shot back during the TV interview.
Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf said Pakistan had the capability to respond to any strike inside its territory.
"We need to strike balance in our statements and should not give statements on the basis of political expediences which create war hysteria," Musharraf said before leaving for the U.S. on a private trip.
Experts said India will keep up diplomatic pressure on Pakistan and the international community to take action. Continued...
