India plans to wait for 'plotters'

INDIA has not exhausted diplomatic options in its attempt to bring the Mumbai attack plotters to justice and would take further steps only if Pakistan did not act, India's foreign minister said yesterday.

"We have not reached the end of the road," Pranab Mukherjee said, following a week in which India showed increasing frustration at what it saw as Pakistan's unwillingness to bring the Mumbai attack plotters to justice.

Ten heavily armed gunmen killed 179 people in the attack on India's financial capital at the end of November. Only one attacker was captured alive.

India blamed Pakistani militants from the outset, but Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said last week for the first time that the assault must have had the support of "official agencies" in Pakistan.

"We have adequate information and circumstantial evidence," Mukherjee said yesterday, although Pakistan has rejected the charge.
