The ministry is also expected to submit a final report to the government by Saturday, Dawn News reported. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani have both said in recent public comments that Pakistan will share the findings of its probe into the Mumbai attacks with India and the rest of the world.
India has blamed Pakistan-based elements, including leaders of the banned Lashker-e-Taiba terror group, for masterminding and coordinating the attacks on the financial hub that killed over 180 people on November 26 last.
Pakistan has denied the charge and called on India to share information and conduct a joint probe to trace the perpetrators of the attacks.
