| The US's insistence that Pakistan take strong action against those responsible for the Mumbai Terror attacks has ‘aligned’ Washington more closely with the Indian position, but it is unlikely to coax Islamabad to oblige, a media report said on Thursday.
"The US is calling on Pakistan to arrest and turn over to India at least some of the suspects in the Mumbai terrorist bombing, aligning the US more closely with a key Indian position," the ‘Wall Street Journal’ said in an analytical piece.
"But Pakistan is unlikely to oblige amid escalating tensions between the nuclear armed South Asian adversaries," it added.
The Indian Government is under a lot of pressure from the public for not doing more to prevent this attack, the paper said quoting an unnamed diplomat.
"And they need for their political purposes to point to something demonstratively that's been done," the diplomat said, adding, ‘an arrest by Pakistan is a big statement. Ideally there'd be some sort of extradition to India.’
