Pakistan completes initial investigation on Pathankot attack

"Pakistan has handed over the information from the initial investigation report to Indian authorities," Geo News reported quoting sources.

Sources told Geo News that the India had provided Pakistan communication intercepts and telephone numbers, which they claimed were used by the terrorists during the attack.

"Pakistani authorities started its probe as soon as the information was provided by the Indians, who claim that the attackers were affiliated with the banned Jaish-e-Mohammad militant outfit," the news channel reported.

India last week said it will not go ahead with foreign secretary level talks with Pakistan next unless the neighbouring country takes action on the evidence provided by India of the Pathankot terror attack.

India's External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup told a press conference: "The ball is in Pakistan's court."

He said talks are based on the "prompt" response of Pakistan on the terror attack, adding that actionable intelligence has been provided to the neighbour.

India has urged Pakistan to take action against Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists based on its soil who targetted an Indian air base at Pathankot in Punjab last week, killing seven Indian security men.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a call on Tuesday from his Pakistani counterpart  Nawaz Sharif regarding the terrorist attack on the Pathankot airbase.

Prime Minister Modi strongly emphasized the need for Pakistan to take firm and immediate action against the organizations and individuals responsible for and linked to the Pathankot terrorist attack, officials said.

"Specific and actionable information in this regard has been provided to Pakistan," read an official statement.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif assured Prime Minister Modi that his government would take prompt and decisive action against the terrorists.
