pathankot The Indian and the Pakistani probe teams on Monday began talks on the investigation into Pathankot airbase terror attack.

A five-member team of Pakistani investigators arrived here on Sunday to carry forward the probe into the Pathankot airbase attack which lasted for two days and left seven security personnel dead on January 2.

Led by Punjab Counter-Terrorism Department Additional Inspector-General Muhammad Tahir Rai, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) had left for India on a special plane from Allama Iqbal International Airport on Sunday morning from Lahore.

Intelligence Bureau’s Deputy Director-General Lahore Muhammed Azim Arshad, Military Intelligence’s Lieutenant- Colonel Irfan Mirza, Lieutenant-Colonel Tanvir Ahmad of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Inspector Shahid Tanveer, a Punjab police officer based in Gujranwala., are the other members of the JIT.

India had blamed JeM militants for the brazen attack.

India plans to provide the Pakistani probe team access to all witnesses in the Pathankot terror attack case but not security personnel from National Security Guard or the BSF.
