| Pakistan is under "tremendous pressure" from the US to extradite Lashker-e-Taiba operations commander Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai Terror attacks, to India, a media report said on Wednesday.
The Americans are believed to have given Pakistan a taped conversation Lakhvi allegedly had with gunmen involved in attacks on Mumbai on November 26.
American audio experts had checked the tape and concluded it was genuine and that the speaker was Lakhvi, the 'Dawn' newspaper quoted US and diplomatic sources as saying.
Though Indian officials had been saying for some time that Lakhvi should be handed over to India, US officials had not taken a clear stand on this issue until this week.
Lakhvi's conversation with the gunmen appeared to have changed their minds, the report said.
Diplomatic sources in Washington told the newspaper that the Americans were now "urging Pakistan to hand over Lakhvi to New Delhi".
