Pakistan has agreed to a 48-hour timetable set by India and the US to formulate a plan to take action against Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT). A report says that Pak has agreed to arrest at least three Pakistanis who Indian authorities say are linked to Mumbai attacks.

An official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of diplomatic sensitivities said India had also asked Pakistan to arrest and hand over LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhwi and former chief of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Hamid Gul.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, who has expressed his country's solidarity with India, is expected to review plans by his nation's top military and intelligence officials and follow through on India's demands, the official said.
