terror activities in Pakistan and is set to hand over the names to Delhi

Pakistan Foreign Office and the Ministry of Interior, with the
assistance of police and intelligence authorities, in the backdrop of
the investigations of different incidents of terrorism and sabotage in
different parts of the country. The list was actually prepared many
weeks ago but was not given to Indian authorities with the intentions of
gearing up peace process. But, the sources say, now, after India has
failed to handle the situation sensibly and has instead started asking
Pakistan to hand over 20 so called Pakistanis, who it says are involved
in numerous terror activities in India. Pakistan has decided to come up
with a matching response and has decided to ask India to hand over at
least 35 leading terrorists, who were found to be directly or indirectly
involved in a number of terrorist activities in Pakistan.
It is learnt that Islamabad is also sending a copy of this list to

reports of provincial CID departments, police records and intelligence
reports and out comes of the investigations and interrogations, carried
out by Police and Intelligence agencies. These reports suggest the
