US presses Pakistan over Mumbai
01.01.2009
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said that Pakistan must act "fully and transparently" in efforts to bring the Mumbai attackers to justice.
"Pakistan has a special responsibility to do so," she told reporters in Delhi.
India says the attackers, who killed at least 188 people, have links to Pakistan, which denies any role.

Condoleezza Rice warned India not to take actions that would provoke "unintended consequences".
"Any response needs to be judged by its effectiveness in prevention," she said.
Analysts say she is worried that an escalation of military tension in South Asia could distract Pakistan from the battle against militants on its Afghan border
and simultaneously undermine its civilian government.
