Osama killing shows terrorist organisations find sanctuary in Pakistan: P. Chidambaram

Reacting to the killing of Osama Bin Laden, union home minister P Chidambaram said that India noted with grave concern that terrorists from various organisations find sanctuary in Pakistan.

He onjce again called upon the Pakistan government to act against thje perpeterators and masterminds of the 28 / 11 Mumbai terror attacks.

Chidambaram said, ''Earlier today the United States Government informed the Government of India that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by security forces somewhere ''deep inside Pakistan.'' After the September 11, 2001 terror attack, the US had reason to seek Osama Bin Laden and bring him and his accomplices to justice.

"We take note with grave concern that part of the statement in which President Obama said that the fire fight in which Osama Bin Laden was killed took place in Abbotabad ''deep inside Pakistan''. This fact underlines our concern that terrorists belonging to different organisations find sanctuary in Pakistan.

"We believe that the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attack, including the controllers and handlers of the terrorists who actually carried out the attack, continue to be sheltered in Pakistan.

"We once again call upon the Government of Pakistan to arrest the persons whose names have been handed over to the Interior Minister of Pakistan as well as provide voice samples of certain persons who are suspected to be among the controllers and handlers of the terrorists.''
