Urges Pak to prosecute Saeed
Pointing out that the US shared India's concern over the Mumbai terror attacks just as India shared the US concern over the 9/11 attack in his country, Roemer said, “it is very important that Pakistan prosecutes successfully the seven suspects of the Mumbai attacks, take the facts and evidence about Hafiz Saeed and prosecute him."

Addressing a press conference before winding up his two-day visit here, Roemer said his country's relations with India was based on trust and a shared strategic interest and geopolitical concerns.
