MILITANTS FROM PAKISTAN ATTACKED MUMBAI: SHARIF

ISLAMABAD: Militants from Pakistan did sneak into India to attack Mumbai in 2008 and massacre 166 Indians and foreigners, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in remarks published on Saturday. “Militant organisations are active (in Pakistan),” Sharif told the Dawn newspaper in an interview. “Call them nonstate actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai? Explain it to me,” he asked, in a clear reference to the Mumbai killings blamed on 10 Pakistani terrorists. One of them was caught and hanged. “Why can’t we complete the trial?” Sharif asked.
