"The cooperation needs to be enhanced," State Department spokesperson Robert Wood said during a briefing. He was responding to a question which referred to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement that India has enough evidence to show that some official agencies of Pakistan were involved in the November 26 strikes.
"What's important - and I think we've seen this - is that India and Pakistan are cooperating on trying to find out who actually carried out these attacks in Mumbai. The cooperation needs to be enhanced," Wood said.
"We've made that point to both sides. We'll continue to encourage both of them to work not only on trying to find out who the culprits were about this but also to cooperate much more closely on fighting other - you know, fighting terrorism," Wood said.
