Also Tuesday Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said his country has offered a joint investigation team to help India probe the Mumbai attacks.

"The government of Pakistan has offered a joint investigation mechanism, and we are ready to compose such a team which will help the investigation," he said in a televised statement.
