The English daily, The News, said in a report that Washington desired to sign an MoU with Pakistan that would enable the anti-terrorism agencies of the two countries to work together in targeting international terrorism. The daily said the draft MoU was being scrutinised by Pakistan's Ministries of Interior, Law and Foreign Office. The Government would prepare its own version of the draft MoU keeping in view the national interest and also to ensure that the anti- terrorism cooperation was not misinterpreted in the future against Islamabad's interests. ``Pakistan is evaluating whether it would be possible for Islamabad to sign such an agreement where it should be bound to share all the information that was considered by the other side as terrorism related, the report said. Pakistan would request the United States to help in building an effective anti-terrorism apparatus and also expecting Washington to impart anti-terrorism training to its officials, besides sharing the expertise in counter terrorism operations, the daily said. In a related development, an English weekly, Independent, has claimed that the United States has asked, besides Omar Sheikh, for the extradition of eight others, including Maulana Masood Azhar, chief of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammad.
