Pathankot attack probe being completed, Pak tells Britain

IANS

Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz here on Tuesday assured British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond that a joint investigation team is in the process of completing its probe into the Indian

airbase terror attack. “The team will visit India in the next few days and hopefully then a meeting between the foreign secretaries of the two countries will take place. The Indian High Commissioner himself stated that foreign secretaries’ meeting is not linked to the Pathankot investigation,” the Prime Minister’s senior aide said.

New Delhi previously accused Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad of masterminding the attack which left seven Indian security officials and one civilian dead and avoided pointing fingers at Pakistan or its institutions.
