US asks Pak to handover
Dawood to India: Reports

The United States is understood to have asked Islamabad to hand over to India Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon and others accused in the Bombay blast case who have taken shelter in Pakistan, highly-placed sources said.

Quoting intelligence reports, the sources said Washington has asked Islamabad to "take action" against the March 1993 serial blast accused and that the list of such terrorists "would be further enlarged."

This follows the US declaration that its fight against terrorism would not be confined to just the Taleban or Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network.

The sources said if Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has now described the recent attack on Jammu and Kashmir Assembly in Srinagar as "terrorism" and condemned it, "the US can ask Islamabad to close down all terrorist camps operating there."

Pakistan, which is now part of the battle against terrorism, can also be asked to hand over Jaishe-e-Mohammad chief Maulana Masood Azhar and the hijackers of the Indian Airlines plane to Kandahar in December 1999.
