Pakistani team to visit Colombo to probe Lahore attack

A Pakistani investigation team will travel to Sri Lanka next week to probe reports that elements in the island were linked to the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said.

The team has already been constituted, Malik told a TV news channel.

The Sri Lankan Government has handed over some important clues that are being examined and these leads are expected to help nab the persons behind the attack, he said.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani recently directed Malik to send a team of experts to Sri Lanka to investigate reports that elements in the island were linked to the attack on the Sri Lankan players in March.
