Meanwhile, as the Pakistan link to the Pathankot attack became clear, its Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called up PM Modi on Tuesday to promise a probe into the "specific and actionable" information provided and a "prompt and decisive action" against the terrorists behind it.

Sharif conveyed his "heartfelt sadness and grief" on the loss of lives in the attack and "pointed out to PM Modi that whenever a serious effort for bringing peace between the two countries was underway, terrorists try to derail the process", said a statement issued by his office.

The telephonic conversation takes place at a time when the Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan scheduled for this month looks in serious jeopardy with strong indications that the Modi Government may call off the engagement if evidence emerges that Pakistan's state actors were complicit in the fidayeen raid on the air base.
