He also said that India has not given some of the information sought by Pakistan last month.Malik claimed that Pakistan is "serious" about probing the Mumbai attacks but India has a "non-serious" attitude and "always avoided" providing sufficient information to Islamabad to enable it to that appropriate measures to bring suspects to justice.He also noted that Pakistan had approached Interpol to arrest 13 fugitives wanted by authorities in connection with the Mumbai incident.      

Interpol recently issued a global alert for these 13 fugitives, most of them crew members of the two boats used by the terrorists to travel from Karachi to Mumbai. Express 24/7 also quoted its sources as saying that Pakistani investigators hoped to arrest two more persons linked to the attacks within the next few days.
