NEW DELHI, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Nuclear arch-rivals India and Pakistan Thursday opened their Foreign Minister-level talks in Islamabad, nearly two years after the composite dialogue between the two neighboring nations was derailed by Mumbai terror attacks which claimed the lives of over 170 people. Though Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna arrived in Islamabad Wednesday to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi

"The Indian External Affairs Minister has said that his visit heralds a new beginning in the efforts to improve bilateral relations and India is committed to resolving issues with Pakistan through peaceful dialogue. "But India has been at the same time insisting that no improvement in the bilateral relationship can come until Islamabad brings the perpetrators of the Mumbai massacre to justice, including its alleged mastermind Hafiz Saeed, the chief of Jamaat- ud-Dawa, a frontal organization for terror outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba. "So, the outcome of the talks is known to everyone. It would hardly bring out any concrete progress unless Pakistan cracks down particularly on Lashkar-e-Toiba which has been accused by the U.S. and India of carrying out the Mumbai attacks," said political analyst Professor Ajay Singh. In fact, India had claimed on the eve of the talks Wednesday that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency controlled and coordinated the Mumbai attacks. Indian Home Secretary G.K. Pillai told local newspaper The Indian Express newspaper that Inter-service Intelligence (ISI)'s role came out in the open from the interrogation of U.S. citizen David Coleman Headley, who had pleaded guilty in March for planning the attacks, by the FBI and subsequently by Indian intelligence agencies. India has argued that Headley's confession provides particularly damning evidence of LeT's involvement in the terror strike and further reason for Pakistan to take action on the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack. "Pakistan has denied that its intelligence agency was involved. Now, any claim or evidence provided to Islamabad in this regard will be as usual denied by the Pakistan. So, even after India handed over seven dossiers containing evidence against the Mumbai attackers, Islamabad is yet to take any concrete action. "The Foreign Minister-level talks will head nowhere. India will provide all evidence and Pakistan will deny or reject them and then say 'it will probe'. Unless Islamabad shows some seriousness, no talks will help. The dialogue will collapse again,"said political scientist Professor S.K. Gupta. Even the U.S. national security adviser

"We want to see a more comprehensive program that addresses all aspects of terrorism because all of these groups we are finding out are linked," he told Indian news channel CNN-IBN. "The U.S. wants both countries to improve their relations and have time and again asked Islamabad to act against Islamist militants trying to destabilize India. It would also adhere to Washington's interest that Pakistan's Army concentrates on its border with Afghanistan rather than with India. All talks
