'State elements'
India has accused the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group of being behind the Mumbai attack and has demanded that some of its leaders be extradited to Delhi.
It has also suggested what it calls Pakistani "state elements" were involved, something Islamabad denies. Delhi has handed over a dossier to the Pakistani government which it says contains evidence to support its case.
Last month Pakistan said it had arrested 71 people in a crackdown on groups allegedly linked to the attacks.
Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said then that officials had also shut several schools run by a charity linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Pakistan was serious about fighting extremism, he added, but it needed more information from India to prosecute suspects in court.
