India Pakistan Agree On Measures To Combat Terrorism

At the first peace talks since July, India and Pakistan have reportedly agreed on measures to combat terrorism and prevent a nuclear conflict in South Asia. The anti-terror measure was a key to the resumption of the peace process. However India kept it on hold following the Mumbai attack, where series of bombs ripped through Mumbai's train network and killed more than 200 people in July.

India earlier blamed on militants based in Pakistan and Islamabad's intelligence service. Pakistani Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammed Khan said Wednesday that during two days of talks, Indian officials had given him no evidence of Pakistani links to the Mumbai bombings, but "there is something about other blasts."

Shiv Shanker Menon, had confirmed to Khan to set up a three-member commission to exchange information on terror threats, and added that a Foreign Ministry official from each side would work with the group.

Khan also said that the two sides had prepared a deal intended to limit the risk of an inadvertent nuclear conflict. The nuclear safety deal would be signed at a later date, he said, without providing any details of the agreement.
