New Delhi - India's foreign minister said on Wednesday there was "no doubt" that the militants who attacked Mumbai came from Pakistan and were co-ordinated from Pakistan.
"I informed Dr Rice that there is no doubt the terrorists were individuals who came from Pakistan and whose controllers are in Pakistan," Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said at a joint news conference with visiting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
He said India wanted to see that "the terrorists and organisations who perpetrated these attacks are arrested and brought to justice".
"We expect all friendly governments and the international community to ensure that this happens," he said.
"What action will be taken by the government will depend on the response we have from the Pakistan authorities.
"I am expecting the response, (and) after obtaining the response, whatever the government considers necessary to protect its territorial integrity, safety and security of its citizens, the government will do that," he added.
