India, Pakistan agree panel to tackle terrorism
Source: Reuters
NEW DELHI, Nov 15 (Reuters) - India and Pakistan said on Wednesday they had finalised plans to set up a panel to tackle terrorism in the two countries, ending their first peace talks in nearly a year with hopes that the new system would curb tensions. The nuclear-armed neighbours also said they had agreed to a pact on reducing the risk from atomic accidents, and said it would be signed soon. The announcement came at the end of two days of talks between top diplomats of the two countries who resumed peace negotiations stalled by the deadly train bombings in Mumbai in July. India has accused Pakistan's military spy agency of plotting the attacks, which killed 186 people, and an Islamist militant group fighting Indian rule in Kashmir of carrying them out.
