ISLAMABAD: The chief of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will visit Pakistan next week to discuss the probe
into last year’s Mumbai terrorist attacks, the Foreign Office (FO) said on Thursday. “We understand that they have helped
India in their ongoing investigations and we hope they will assist us by way of providing any further information or
intelligence they may have,” FO spokesman Abdul Basit said during the weekly briefing. To a question he said FBI chief
Robert Mueller would arrive in Islamabad on March 4. Sources familiar with the plans told Daily Times a team of senior FBI
officials would accompany Mueller and interrogate the six suspects held by Pakistan. Basit said Pakistan was still waiting
for India’s response to its questions regarding the Mumbai attacks. “Pakistan is also looking forward to the restoration of peace process and dialogue between the two countries. We hope that this will be sooner rather than later.” The Supreme Court verdict disqualifying the Sharif brothers was
Pakistan’s internal matter, the spokesman said, adding he had not seen any international reaction on the event except from
Washington. Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Nawabzada Malik Amad Khan will lead the Pakistani delegation to the 31st
session of the SAARC Council of Ministers meeting in Colombo on February 27 and 28, the spokesman said. sajjad malik

The first wave of the Russian offensive in Ukraine has fallen short of Russian autocrat Vladmir Putin’s ambitions. Most analysts deduced that Putin had hoped to achieve a decapitation strike of the Ukrainian government- taking Kiev and replacing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zolinski with a pro-Kremlin voice. Kiev has been threatened repeatedly through the course of […]
On the weekend of March 26th, the notorious MS-13 gang went on a massive killing spree in El Salvador which left more than 70 people dead by Sunday. Even for a country where powerful gangs hold massive sway, this recent tragedy stands out considering that it was the bloodiest day on record since the civil […]
