The Indian Govt. had demanded return of 21 most wanted terrorists from Pakistan. These included names like Dawood Ibrahim and Hafeez Sayid who is the head of Lashkar E Taiba.
The Indian Govt. has already declared categorically that the attacks in Mumbai was carried out by Pakistani elements. However, Pakistan refuses to hand over the individuals saying that there is no conclusive evidence linking the terrorists to Pakistan.
Meanwhile teams from FBI and Scotland Yard have arrived at Mumbai to assist with the investigations and it appears from preliminary investigations that the attacks were indeed the handiwork or Pakistani origin nationals.
The civilian government in Pakistan is cornered between hardline elements within Pakistan and mounting pressure to cooperate from US.
