Pak. prepares list of "wanted elements" from India

ISLAMABAD MAY 30 . Pakistan has prepared a list of 32 ``wanted elements'' from India which would be handed over to New Delhi when the two countries resume dialogue, the Interior Minister of Pakistan, Moinuddin Haider, has said.

``Pakistan has prepared the list of 32 wanted elements from India but it will not be handed over to it,'' Mr. Haider was quoted as saying by a news agency last night. On India's demand to hand over 20 wanted terrorists and criminals by Pakistan, he said matters such as these were of a minor nature and could be resolved once the process of dialogue was initiated between the two countries.

Asked to respond to the comments made by the External Affairs Minister, Jaswant Singh, two days ago about the existence of training camps for militants along the LoC, Mr. Haider said there were no terrorist training camps in Pakistan and wanted India to say what the extent of infiltration was on the same day during the previous year. India should by comparison reveal whether the infiltration was reduced or not, he said and asked New Delhi to compare the level of infiltration across the LoC with that of the previous year.— PTI
