New Delhi: US Ambassador David C Mulford on Monday met Home Minister P Chidambaram in the capital in the backdrop of Washington's offer to share information and collaborate with New Delhi following the Mumbai terror attacks.
The meeting at North Block lasted about half-an-hour, official sources said.
The officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have already questioned Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant involved in the November 26 strikes, to ascertain his role and those of his handlers in Pakistan.
The US, which witnessed the deadly 9/11 attacks seven years ago, is working through a package for India on dealing with the situation arising out of the "horrific" Mumbai strikes by way of information sharing, collaboration and cooperation, according to a top Pentagon official.
"We are working through the initial parts of a package. We would offer to India to help them understand some of the lessons that we very painfully learnt in the wake of our September 11 attacks, in information sharing, collaboration and cooperation," , Commander of the US Pacific Command, Admiral Timothy Keating, told reporters in Washington last week.
Praising India for its "measured response" in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks, Keating said that various agencies of the US government were working closely to keep a tab of developments in the region.
