Pakistan agrees to 48-hour timetable for action against LeT: Report

Pakistan has agreed to a 48-hour timetable set by India and the US to formulate a plan to act against Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) and to arrest at least three Pakistanis who Indian authorities say are linked to the Mumbai terrorist assaults, the Washington Post reported citing a high-ranking Pakistani official.

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of diplomatic sensitivities, said India had also asked Pakistan to arrest and hand over LeT commander Zaki ur-Rehman Lakhwi and the former director of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Hamid Gul, in connection with the investigation, the Post said on Saturday. (via India Today - India's most widely read magazine.).

This may yet happen. The biggest beneficiary of this will be Pakistan. More than any other entity, it is Pakistan which retain its identity with these actions.

Failing which, it will invite that straw on the camel's back.
