Pakistan to issue Mumbai findings; U.S. envoy coming

By Robert Birsel

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan will publish findings of its investigation into November's militant attacks in Mumbai early next week, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Friday.

Gilani also said newly appointed U.S. envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke would be visiting Pakistan on Monday.

Relations between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have been strained since militants killed 179 people in Mumbai.

India blamed the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group for the attacks in its commercial hub and said there must have been support from Pakistani security agencies.

Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon said this week Pakistan's main spy agency was linked to planners behind the attack, the first time the government has directly named the organisation in connection with the raids.

Pakistan has denied any involvement by state agencies and has said it was investigating a dossier of information from India.

"We will publish a report ... by Monday or Tuesday on the information given in their dossier," Gilani told reporters in the city of Lahore.

India said the dossier contained the confession of a surviving attacker, satellite phone intercepts between the attackers and their handlers in Pakistan, and a list of Pakistani-made weapons used by the militants.
