Pakistan: Pathankot probe team seeks more evidence from India

A Pakistani team investigating the terror attack on the Indian Air Force base in Punjab's Pathankot town has asked Islamabad to seek more evidence from India, saying there had been "no headway" so far in the probe, a media report said on Monday.

"The team has almost completed its investigation into five cellphone numbers, allegedly used for making calls from Pakistan to India, provided by the Indian government. No further leads were found from these numbers because they were un-registered and had fake identities," Dawn quoted a source as saying.

"The probe is not heading further. The team needs more evidence. Therefore, it has written to the government to speak to India and apprise it of the situation and demand more evidence to move forward in investigation here," he said.

Answering a question about the people, including Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Maulana Masood Azhar, detained in connection with the January 2 terror strike, the source said: "Let first more evidence come from India."

Six terrorists of the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammad stormed the Indian Air Force base in Indian Punjab's Pathankot town, killing seven security personnel. All the six terrorists were also killed by the security forces.
