WASHINGTON: Pakistan has agreed to a 48-hour timetable set by India and the US to formulate a plan to take action against Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and to arrest at least three Pakistanis who Indian authorities say are linked to the multiple attacks in Mumbai, The Washington Post reported, citing a top Pakistani official.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said India had asked Pakistan to arrest LeT commander Zaki ur-Rehman Lakhwi and former ISI chief Hamid Gul.
Pakistani PM Yousuf Raza Gilani held a meeting on Saturday with the top military and intelligence officials.

“The next 48 hours are critical,” the official was quoted as saying by The Washington Post.

Indian and US investigators have identified Yusuf Muzammil, an LeT leader, as the mastermind behind the attacks, and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has asked Pakistan to hand him and other suspects over, the report said.
