President: Pakistan not responsible for Mumbai attacks

If proof of any Pakistani individual's involvement is provided, Zardari said, "We would try them in our courts, we would try them in our land, and we would sentence them."

Asked about the possibility of Indian military strikes against terrorist camps in Pakistan, Zardari said: "I would not agree with that because this is a time to come together and do a joint investigation and look at the problem in the larger context."

India has blamed Pakistan-based elements for the Mumbai attacks and asked Pakistan to take action against them. India has also handed over a list of 20 wanted men and criminals believed to be in Pakistan and asked for them to be handed over.

In response, Pakistan said it would examine India's list of wanted men. Pakistan on Tuesday offered to set up a joint investigating mechanism to probe the Mumbai attacks which killed 172 people and injured 239.
