ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Pakistan is in the final stages of vetting information on the November Mumbai terror attacks given to it by Indian officials, sources say.

India says the dossier it provided to Pakistan contains evidence that Islamic militants based in the disputed Kashmir territory planned and carried out the attacks in which at least 173 people died and hundreds more were injured.

The Press Trust of India Tuesday quoted unnamed diplomatic and other sources saying Pakistani High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik had arrived in Islamabad for consultations to finalize the country's response to the dossier, which could be handed over to New Delhi this week.

Sources said the high commissioner is expected to meet Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik, Law Minister Farooq Naek and Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir to discuss India's response to questions Pakistan posed after receiving the Indian dossier.
